[Live-devel] Server liveness

[Ross Finlayson]

> I was wondering if there is a way for the clients to check if the server is still alive.

Yes, you could listen for RTCP "SR" packets (that the server sends frequently), and close the client's connection if such packets (and, of course, regular data) doesn't arrive within a certain period of time (e.g., within 30 seconds).

Note the function "RTCPInstance::setSRHandler()" (in "liveMedia/include/RCTP.hh").
