But is this really a problem worth worrying about? If this happens only occasionally (in extreme situations), and merely causes the server to send back a "method not allowed" RTSP response, then is this a major problem? It seems to be merely an 'annoyance'.</div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>2) The (more correct?) approach would be to only allow the client to send an RR after it has received a PLAY response.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Maybe, but that would require a major change to the client code that might break other things - and wouldn't help with existing clients anyway. So I'm not going to go down that route just to deal with a rare issue that - as noted above - appears to be just an annoyance.</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
