[Live-devel] Proxy server - stop stream from back-end if there are no viewers

[Ross Finlayson]

> Is it possible to have the proxy server close the stream from source (IP camera) to the proxy if nobody is accessing the proxy stream for that source?

If no front-end clients are accessing the stream, the proxy server sends a RTSP “PAUSE” command to the ‘back-end’ stream.

Perhaps your ‘back-end’ RTSP server (IP camera) does not implement the RTSP “PAUSE” command?  If so, then perhaps you could upgrade its firmware (or tell its manufacturer to upgrade its firmware)?
