OK, so this is (presumably) the RTSP socket (i.e., TCP), rather than the RTP (UDP) socket.

It seems that your server is arbitrarily deciding to close the connection.  I.e., this is a problem with your server; you should report it to the server’s manufacturer.

I suggest adding the “-K” (i.e., upper-case K) option to your “openRTSP” command line.  See
