That’s for RTSP/RTP-over-HTTP, which our server supports, but which you probably don’t need, unless you have a firewall - between your server and client - that blocks all ports except port 80.

Otherwise, if your client can reach the server via the normal RTSP ports (554 or 8554), then you just use RTSP as usual.  By default, this will give you RTP-over-UDP.  But if your have a firewall that blocks UDP packets, your client can, instead, request RTP-over-TCP (using the RTSP TCP connection).  You can test this using VLC (which automatically tries RTP-over-TCP within a few seconds if RTP-over-UDP doesn't work).  Or you can use our “openRTSP” command-line RTSP client, using the “-t” option.
