[Live-devel] Live555 Proxy Server - Stuck in endless loop

I’m really not interested in making any more changes to the proxy server code (apart from legitimate bug fixes), because it’s already complex enough (& has not resulted in any significant additional revenue coming into this company).  But if this is something that you want to hack in your own copy of the code, then look at the code in lines 788-790 for how we handle a RTCP “BYE” from the server by tearing down & reestablishing a connection to the ‘back end’ server.

Nonetheless, there might be a firmware upgrade available; see

	http://www.xiaoyi.com/home/firmware/index_us.html?version=1.8.5.1N_201601071352

I’ll also be in touch with ‘Xiaomi’, reminding them of their obligations under the LGPL; they - like all products that use our code - MUST provide their customers a way to replace old versions of the “LIVE555 Streaming Media” code with the latest version.
