[Live-devel] RTP over RTSP: client sending RR "early"

[Ross Finlayson]

> A part of the issue is that e.g. when using VLC on mobile devices as a client

Out of curiosity, what VLC iPhone 'app' are you using?  'GoodPlayer'?  Or your own custom iOS app?

OK, beforehand you didn't say that this (the server seeing an incoming RTCP-over-TCP '$' 'packet' and responding "Method not allowed") was causing whole connections to fail.  I'm curious about why that is happening.  Is this because the "Method not allowed" response is being seen as a response to the "PLAY" command (because it's being sent back before the "PLAY" response)?  (Because I would have thought that any client that received an arbitrary "Method not allowed" RTSP response after having already received a successful "PLAY" response would be able to handle that OK.)

Yes, please do.
