I have the live555StreamingServer serving up MPEG2-TS files for me, and it works great! When I view it with [VLC], everything is perfect - yet when I connect with non-standards-compliant Windows Media Player to view the RTSP stream, it fails.

You've answered your question right there.


I've wiresharked the handshake, and it's almost right (DESCRIBE, SETUP) up to the point where you would excpect a "PLAY" command to be issued, at which point the WMP for some reason issues an HTTP GET on the file (complete with http headers).

I'm sure I'm not the first to have hit this - so has anyone out there modified the live555server codebase to allow this hackney WMP handshake to work?

Without support for WMP, I'm sorta dead in the water.

Then you're "sorta dead in the water". You should complain to Microsoft, asking them to fix their non-standards-compliant media player.
