[Live-devel] Sony SNC-RZ50N RTSP stream stopping

[Joshua Kordani]

I've also upgraded the firmware on my hardware, specifically the snc 
ch180 model camera, and been on the phone with support numerous times.

Originally, in the case of our model, the default rtsp timeout value 
used by the camera defaulted to "never", which in our application 
resulted in numerous, unstoppable streams being created over the life of 
the system, as network connectivity would drop and connections be 
reset.  The answer to that problem was to specify a timeout value on the 
camera, but once we did that, we discovered that the streams would time 
out in spite of being sent periodic normal rtsp control packets.  We 
noticed that VLC worked, but our custom client did not, and upon 
consulting with Sony support, were told "tough", and to use some other 
method (the details of which I wasn't privy to but could reproduce if 
desired) of keeping the stream alive.

<rant>These cameras may look pretty, and perhaps provide decent picture, 
but the physical behavior and the API is really junky and frankly not 
indicative of the price you pay for them</rant>
