That's strange; I wonder if it could be a firewall problem? I.e., maybe you have a firewall - sitting between the proxy server and the back-end server - that is blocking UDP packets? But that wouldn't explain the problem if the *only* difference between a working back-end server and a non-working back-end server is its port number. But I suspect that - in reality - the RTSP port number is *not* the only difference between these two streams :-) Does the "DESCRIBE" command - sent from the proxy server to the back-end server - still work successfully when the back-end server uses a port other than 554? > I can connect to the rtsp stream directly with vlc (though it takes about 12 > seconds to connect) This suggests that you do, indeed, have a problem with receiving UDP (because VLC works by first requesting regular RTP-over-UDP streaming, and then - if it fails to receive packets within several seconds - requesting RTP-over-TCP streaming instead; that would explain the long delay). To test this: NOTE TO EVERYONE: If you want to test a RTSP stream, you should do so first using our client applications: "testRTSPClient" and/or "openRTSP". Only after you have gotten those to work should you then try using VLC. (VLC is not our software.) Try running "openRTSP -n rtsp://<ip address>:9494/axis-media/media.amp", and see whether it reports that "Data packets have begun arriving". If it doesn't, then try again, but this time adding the "-t" option to "openRTSP" (to request RTP-over-TCP streaming). If the "-t" option to "openRTSP" works, then the "LIVE555 Proxy Server" should also work (with this back-end stream) if you give it the "-t" option also.
