<div>This depends on the codec that your streaming. When
RealNetworks came out with "Real Player version 10" a couple
of years ago, its support for playing standard RTSP/RTP streams was
badly broken. I found that it could now play only a few codecs;
I'm not sure if H.263+ was one of them.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>For this reason, I no longer consider "Real Player" a
credible client.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>QuickTime Player - on the other hand - is a lot more standards
compliant. I have found that it plays H.263+ video streams OK,
so I'm surprised that you have had problems with this.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>(Of course, to stream H.263 video, you will have needed to modify
the existing "testOnDemandRTSPServer" code to use a
"H263plusVideoFileServerMediaSubsession" (and to read from a
H.263+ Elementary Steam video file).)</div>
