Yes, this is a bug with QuickTime Player; it's separate from the
bug that I noted back in 2007, and occurs only if RTSP-over-HTTP
streaming is being used.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can try submitting a bug to Apple (I already informed a
colleague high up in Apple about this problem, back in January
2013), but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to fix
this, as QuickTime Player does not appear to be a priority for
Apple these days.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Instead, I suggest using VLC as a client (it has an option
(Preferences->Interface->Show
All->Demuxers->RTP/RTSP) that tells it to request
RTSP-over-HTTP streaming).</div>

Hi Ross,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the swift reply. It's good to know at least.<br>
<br>
I will at least submit a bug to Apple about it. One can only hope
that one day it will get fixed.<br>
<br>
I've already tested with VLC and confirmed that it works.
Unfortunately however it isn't an option at the moment as we're
actually using the QuickTime plugin in a web browser and would
prefer not to use anything else simply because of it's installed
base. I guess that's a decision we may have to revisit :)<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
<br>
Ken.<br>
