[Live-devel] Struggling with a stange behavior

Note that you don't need to do this.  Instead, it is possible (and, in fact, much easier) to have multiple RTSP clients running in a single thread, using a single event loop.  Note how the "testRTSPClient" code does this.

I don't know, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to the details in "valgrind" reports; they're notoriously unreliable.

But in any case I suggest reimplementing your application as a single-threaded application (as noted above).  Not only will it be simpler, but it'll be easier to debug.

(Alternatively, if your clients are truly independent, then you should also consider running each client as a separate *process* (i.e., as a separate running instance of an application).)
