Ross, I wrote my own RTSP client. I use the RTSP url the IP camera provides, like "rtsp://192.168.1.187/rtsp_tunnel" to talk to the IP cam. It's RTP over TCP. I use HTTP to send the RTSP commands. I have a question: do I need a special RTP port for RTP/TCP communication instead of HTTP port 80? After I send RTSP command SETUP, I'm able to receive RTP data wrapped in '$' signed TCP packet. But I cannot receive more after tens of RTP packets (total about 10KB data). Why does the IP cam stop sending me data? Do I need some extra RTP port for the RTP/TCP channel? -Cath

Which RTSP client(s) are you using? You should first try a known working RTSP client - first "openRTSP", then VLC. -- 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
