Why?  The whole point of the RTP-over-TCP implementation is that it uses the existing TCP connection that’s used to send RTSP commands.

It might conceivably be possible to make RTP-over-TCP work with some other TCP connection that you’ve (somehow) set up ‘by hand’ between your two endpoints - but why bother?  You certainly won’t get any support from me for doing this.

Just use RTSP; and then existing RTSP clients (like “openRTSP”, “VLC”, etc.) will work as well.
