[Live-devel] strange behavior with Android 5.0 lollipop media player

Thanks for the report.  For more data points - what happens if (in step 3) you connect to the server using your Android Phone, *and then* connect to the server using some other media player (e.g., VLC).  Does the media continue to play on your Android Phone, even after the second media player (VLC) has connected?  (I presume that VLC will continue to play the media in that case.)

Also, what happens if you modify your server to stream *only* video, or *only* audio?  (You can test this by adding - to your “ServerMediaSession” - only one of your “ServerMediaSubsession”s, rather than adding both of them.)
