I'm curious about why that is happening. Is this because the "Method not allowed" response is being seen as a response to the "PLAY" command (because it's being sent back before the "PLAY" response)? (Because I would have thought that any client that received an arbitrary "Method not allowed" RTSP response after having already received a successful "PLAY" response would be able to handle that OK.)</div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>I will implement the first suggestion as an intermediary fix then and if it <br>works we will contribute the patch back to live555.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Yes, please do.</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
