[Live-devel] [live555] doesn't call closeSockets after 404 File not found for rtsp over tcp

[Siddhant Agarwal]

I am using FFMPEG to convert Live RTP Url stream to HLS. Incase there is a
404 File not found on an RTSP Url, I create a new subprocess of ffmpeg
which eventually creates a new socket connection. This has led to socket
leakage and reached the ulimit.

Thanks
