Or, alternatively, why it would not send (session-specific) "GET_PARAMETER" commands instead (which is what every other client who - for whatever reason - doesn't implement RTCP seems to do to indicate 'keep-alive')? If you haven't contacted them, then why not? If you are using their client application, then presumably you - or somebody you're associated with you - is a customer of theirs. So, why contact only us, and not them?<div><br></div><div>I'm getting really tired of hearing about problems other companies' clients (or servers) only indirectly, via random third parties. We have probably the most widely-deployed RTSP/RTP implementation in the world. Why would "Milestone" (who I had never even heard of until a few days ago) not test their clients (and servers) against our code, and contact us when they found a problem? Why have I never heard even a peep from anyone at "Milestone", and why is there nobody from "Milestone" among the almost 2000 people on this mailing list?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Nonetheless, because Chris Richardson's patch is so simple, I might add it to some future release of the LIVE555 software. I'm in no hurry to do so, however; I'd prefer to hear at least something back from "Milestone" first.</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
