Yes.  One part of your chain is running an old, buggy version of our software.

I assume that your "live555ProxyServer" was built using a recent version of our software.

First, replace "VLC" with our "openRTSP" demo application (using the "-T <http-port-number>" option).  Do you still see the error message?  If you don't, then the problem is that "VLC" is running an out-of-date version of our software, and needs to be upgraded.

If you still see the error, even when you use "openRTSP" as the client, then the problem is that the 'Axis Camera' is (apparently) using an old version of our software, and *its* firmware will need to be upgraded.
