The reason for this is that media players usually do not give you a clear indication of what is going on. (For example, "VLC" automatically - behind the scenes - requests RTP/RTCP-over-TCP streaming if RTP-over-UDP streaming appears to fail. So you won't know whether or not you need to give the proxy server the "-t" option.)</div><div><br></div><div>NOTE TO EVERYONE: When you're testing a RTSP stream to check whether it's available, "openRTSP" should be the *FIRST* thing that you try. Only then should you try using a media player.</div><div><br></div><div>And it makes no sense to talk about "connecting openRTSP (or any other client) to a back-end stream when it fails", because that probably won't tell you anything. You'd be requesting a whole new session.</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
