[OM] Here are the outputs:
./testRTSPClient rtsp://X:Y/stream
Opening connection to X, port Y...
...Connection to server failed: Connection timed out
[URL:"rtsp://X:Y/stream"]: Failed to get a SDP description: Connection to
server failed: Connection timed out
[URL:"rtsp://X:Y/stream"]: Closing the stream.

./openRTSP rtsp://X:Y/stream
Opening connection to X, port Y...
...Connection to server failed: Connection timed out
Opening connection to X, port Y...
...Connection to server failed: Connection timed out
Failed to get a SDP description for the URL "rtsp://X:Y/stream": Connection
to server failed: Connection timed out

X is beck-end server IP address, Y port. I am using VLC 2.0.8 as backend
server.

Ognjen
