[Live-devel] ProxyServerMediaSession not working correctly for more than one client per stream

[Ross Finlayson]

> We did some investigation with few older versions of live555 source base we have in store. It seems, the issue was not there in version 2013.04.21. It seemed to have first appeared in 2013.04.23. I diff-ed these two versions of source codes. Most of the changes did not appear to be related to the issue we are seeing, but one change in OnDemandServerMediaSubsession.cpp does look like it is contributing to the problem:
>

>     // Hack: Explicitly send a RTCP "BYE" packet now, because the code below will prevent that from happening later,
>     // when "fRTCPInstance" gets deleted:
>     fRTCPInstance->sendBYE();
>   }

Thanks for the note.  Yes, you're correct - that code had this unwanted side effect.  So I've removed it from the new version (2013.05.30) of the software - released just now.  Please upgrade to this new version.
