I
have upgraded both the client and server to the May 3<sup class="">rd</sup> 2015 edition
and the result appears to be the same.
On the receiving side I am still getting packets which appear to contain
data (or random garbage), and the head == tail, so the frame size is zero. VLC still does the switching to TCP
thing. I suspect I am doing something
wrong in sending my frames, not sure what.
And if so, why would it work over TCP?</span></p><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>If the problem were with the data that you were streaming, then it’s unlikely that streaming would work over TCP, but not UDP. But to be sure, I suggest first running the (unmodified) “LIVE555 Media Server” application <<a href="http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/" class="">http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/</a>>, to test streaming from a file. I suspect, though, that you’ll see the same result: streaming RTP/RTCP-over-TCP will work, but RTP/RTCP-over-UDP won’t.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>In my experience, problems with receiving RTP/RTCP-over-UDP are almost always caused by the presence of a firewall - somewhere between the server and client - that’s blocking UDP packets.</div><br class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
