The RTSP specification (RFC 2326, section 12.39) clearly states that the "port=" parameter (for multicast streams) should be specified as a range - e.g., "port=5000-5001".Well, a few lines below this, the transport header "grammar" specifies: ";" "port" "=" port [ "-" port ] making the second port number clearly optional :-)
OK, the specification is ambiguous here.
Webcams typically only send media without RTCP
No, that's not true. (By the way, RTCP is a mandatory part of the RTP/RTCP specification; any server (or client) that does not implement RTCP is non-standard.)
And as usual, being liberal in what you accept is good thing.
Yes, and for this reason (especially given the ambiguity in the RTSP specification), I have now installed a new version (2010.09.22) that will accept both kinds of "port=" parameter.
