No, because it's the client, not the server, that chooses whether to stream via 
RTP/UDP or RTP/TCP.  If the client asks for RTP/UDP, then that is what the 
server delivers.  (Even if you were to modify the server code so that it tried 
to stream via RTP/TCP even if the client requested RTP/UDP, then it's unlikely 
that your client would be able to deal with this, because it's not what the 
client requested.)

If you can't find a way to tell your client to request RTP/TCP only, then I 
suggest contacting your 'third party' to get them to fix it.
