That will be sufficient for most people (because few people will/should already have RTSP servers running on other ports). (Note also that 554 and 8554 are the only port numbers officially registered by IANA for use for RTSP; if users arbitrarily choose some other port number, then there's a possibility that it might have been registered for some other use.</div><div><br></div><div>However, the application code is, of course, Open Source, which means that anyone can write their own server code that happens to use the "LIVE555 Media Server" code as a model. (Of course, it's best that they not modify the supplied code 'in place'.)</div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; ">An other behaviour we would like to control using arguments is the availibility to loop on the source file (I means without closing the RTSP session).</span></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; ">Could you advise us, how to looping on the file source when end is reached.</span></blockquote><div><br></div></div>The best way to do this is to write your own "FramedSource" subclass that presents the illusion of a single, continuous stream of data - i.e., by automatically reseeking to the front of the file (or closing/reopening it) whenever the end of the file is reached. Then use this subclass in a new "OnDemandServerMediaSubsession" subclass (that you would also write). That way, none of the other server code would need to change - it would act just as if the data source happened to be infinite.<br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
