The problem here is that the QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server code that 'Wowza' uses is buggy - it does not recognize incoming RTCP "RR" reports (from the client) as indicating that the client is still alive.

To fix this, do one of the following:
- Get 'Wowza' to fix the bug in their server, or
- Update your copy of the "openRTSP" application to periodically send "OPTIONS" or "GET_PARAMETER" commands to the server (this is what VLC does to overcome this problem), or
- Use a different RTSP server (e.g., the "LIVE555 Media Server", which doesn't have this problem).
