The longer I wait the more severe this problem gets. When I leave one client always connected and kill other clients and restart them there are no issues.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>When all of the front-end clients of the "LIVE555 Proxy Server" have disconnected, then the proxy server will send a RTSP "PAUSE" command to the back-end server. Then later, when the next front-end client connects, it will send a RTSP "PLAY" command to the back-end server.<div><br></div><div>(You can see this by running the proxy server with the "-V" option; see <a href="http://www.live555.com/proxyServer/">http://www.live555.com/proxyServer/</a> )<br><div><br></div><div>If the 'back-end' server implements the "PAUSE" command, then this means that there will be no gap in the media between the last front-end client disconnecting, and the next front-end client connecting. However, if the back-end server does not implement "PAUSE" (which it typically won't, if it's a live network camera, for example), then of course you'll see a gap in time.</div></div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
