[Live-devel] RTSP over TLS question(s)

[Ross Finlayson]

Only the RTSP connection is encrypted.  RTP/UDP packets are unaffected.  There is currently no support for SRTP.   And, once again, this change is only for our client implementation of RTSP.

Another TLS library should work, provided that it’s API is compatible with OpenSSL (version 1.1.1 or later).  I notice, for example, that Mac OS (Xcode) uses something called “LibreSSL”, and that works OK with our code.
