What is the best way to check from a RTSP/RTP client using live libraries that the server has dropped the connection, or if one or more of the RTP streams have died?
If a server *voluntarily* closes a connection, it will send a RTCP "BYE" packet, which the client can handle (note, for example, the call to "setByeHandler()" in the "openRTSP" code).
If, however, a stream dies *involuntarily* (e.g., because the server crashes), then the only way to detect this is either to 1/ Detect the closing of the RTSP TCP connection (see <http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2009-February/010174.html>), and/or
2/ Notice that no more RTP packets have arrived (in the last few seconds. -- Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/ _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
