[Live-devel] VLC and The LIVE555 Proxy Server

[Ross Finlayson]

> When I try to restream, rtsp stream from VLC, I get these messages on LIVE555 Proxy Server:

> ...Connection to server failed: Connection timed out
[...]

Sorry, but I can't explain this.  VLC (when used as a RTSP client) uses our RTSP client implementation - as does the "LIVE555 Proxy Server" - so I don't understand why the proxy server would be failing to connect to the 'back-end' server, but VLC succeeds.

What happens when you try connecting to the stream using our "testRTSPClient" or "openRTSP" demo applications?
