It is activated by default! You already have it. Our server does not set the "timeout=" field in its responses (because it uses incoming RTCP "RR" packets, as well as incoming RTSP commands, to indicate client liveness - therefore, for our server, clients don't need to send periodic "GET_PARAMETER" RTSP commands), but it is activated by default.

VLC checks for this value and then sets up the >GET_PARAMETER sending function to fire every timeout-2 seconds You don't need this with our server. As long as VLC sends periodic RTCP "RR" packets - which it does - then our server will use that to indicate client liveness. >And with no activity (vlc doesn't send RTCP "RR" packets) Yes it does!
