As I've noted in the past, you can't close your "RTSPClient" from within your "BYE" handler - because at this point you're still within the synchronous "playMediaSession()" routine. But the problem you face is that your server never responds to the RTSP "PLAY" command, so you're never going to return from "playMediaSession()".<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Your situation is a perfect illustration of why the synchronous RTSP client interface is deprecated (and will someday go away). You need to be using the asynchronous interface instead. That way you'll avoid the problem; you will simply be able to close the "RTSPClient" object from within your "BYE" handler.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Ross Finlayson</span></span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><br><span class=apple-style-span>Live Networks, Inc.</span><br><span class=apple-style-span><a href="http://www.live555.com/">http://www.live555.com/</a></span></span> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
