After running openRTSP the last thing displayed is Data packets have
begun arriving [#####], I did not here any beep. After browsing the
source I found that the playCommon.cpp has this message and a \007,
which apparently did not cause the beep (no big deal). Now I see I
have started streaming from my back end RTSP. I ran a camera in
question all night and no other message followed the Data packets
have begun arriving. I assume this means all is good.<br>
<br>
I will leave the openRTSP running longer to see if I get any
messages or if it just disconnects. I am making the assumption that
my camera is streaming, because openRTSP does not exit or report
streaming has stopped.<br>
<br>
I do have one question, if the proxy server or openRTSP loses a
session from a camera it will reconnect, correct?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

No! You should test your back-end stream using "openRTSP"
*FIRST*, before using a media player. 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>
<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>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>
