Oh and I thought I had solved the problem! What should I do then?
replace "inputFileName" with the input stream URL in the
"ServerMediaSession" constructor?

I'm running in Windows btw. The cameras can be inside or outside the
LAN, so yes, in those cases where the camera is inside the LAN and we
use this program, there will be two copies of the stream in the network.
When the camera is in an external IP, I want this program to connect to
it via unicast and then distribute the stream to the clients in the
network via multicast. Sometimes you cannot control all the routers in
between to guarantee there will be multicasting availability all the way
from the camera to the clients.

Sorry to bother you so much, and thanks,
Marco
