> This REGISTER feature sounds quite interesting. Could you explain a bit more about its impact on existing RTSP servers?

It has no impact at all on existing RTSP servers.  Existing servers do not handle our new "REGISTER" command, so they'll return a 'Request not understood'-type error should they receive one.

The same is also true for LIVE555 RTSP servers.  By default, they don't handle the "REGISTER" command either.  The only way for a server to handle this command is to subclass "RTSPServer" and reimplement the virtual functions "weImplementREGISTER()" and "implementCmd_REGISTER()".  This is what we did for the "RTSPServerWithREGISTERProxying" and "HandlerServerForREGISTERCommand" classes that I mentioned in my email.
