I've encountered a bug with VLC, which is using the live555 library to
read video for rtsp, and though it mostly works, it fails to handle
end-of-stream issues correctly.</font></blockquote>

<div>For the hundred billionth time: Windows Media Server is not
standards compliant. You cannot expect *any* standards-compliant
media player client (like VLC or QuickTime Player) to work with it.
If you want to use VLC as a client, you should use another
server.</div>

<div>If Windows Media Server does not signal end-of-stream correctly
(using RTCP "BYE"), then that's certainly not a bug in
VLC.</div>
