I meant (the destructor for) “RTSPServer::RTSPClientConnection” itself.  Note, though, that you shouldn’t modify the supplied code. (See
	http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#modifying-and-extending
for the reason why,)  Instead, if you want to do something new when the destructor is called, you should define your own subclass of “RTSPServer::RTSPClientConnection” (and thus also reimplement the virtual function “createNewClientConnection()” to create a new object of this subclass), and add your new code to the destructor of your subclass.

When multiple instances of RTSP Proxy Server is hosted, the first proxy server does not show the port number(i.e xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/proxyStream). From the second proxy server onwards, the RTSP URL becomes ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/proxyStream). Are there any ways to always host the RTSP Proxy Server using xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/proxyStream after I defined a conditional statement for the streamName?

See lines 189-210 of “proxyServer/live555ProxyServer.cpp”.   Note that you will not be able to run a server on port P if there is already another server running on port P, or if another server has very recently already run on port P.  Note also that port 554 is the ‘default’ port number for RTSP.  “rtsp://“ URLs that use port 554 don’t have to use it (although they can if you wish).  (This is analogous to port 80 for HTTP.)
