Does the unchanged "testMPEG3TransportStreamer" demo application work
correctly when you stream a Transport Stream *file* that you
previously recorded from your capture device?  It should, but if -
for some reason - it doesn't, then do not proceed to step 2 :-)
It does indeed.

OK, now:
1/ Can VLC play this same file (directly; not via a stream)?
2/ If you enable "testMPEG2TransportStreamer"s built-in RTSP server (by uncommenting the line
        #define IMPLEMENT_RTSP_SERVER 1
), then can VLC play the stream?


No, the "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" also has the job of (1)
accumulates the incoming Transport Stream packets into groups of 7,
so that they end up getting packed into outgoing RTP packets
efficiently, and (2) computing the presentation time and duration of
each Transport Packet, so that the outgoing RTP packets get
transmitted with appropriate spacing between them.  You should
continue to use the MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" object.

OK, I understand that now, and have re-enabled the framer object. This solves the buffer errors I was getting, and both openRTSP and libnemesi (another RTSP client) show the stream has been successfully created. However, VLC is still unable to play the stream.

Try receiving the stream using the "openRTSP" client instead. Check whether you receive a proper Transport Stream file (that you can play, directly, using VLC).
