On a side note, I gave Vivotek engineers the mailing list info and I hoped they would join. We are working directly with them and I will see them tomorrow.

The best way is to run, on the computer on which you would run the proxy server openRTSP -n rtsp://<back-end-stream> (The "-n" option tells "openRTSP" to display a report (with a beep) when the first RTP packet arrives.) If "openRTSP" successfully receives data from the back-end server, then the "LIVE555 Proxy Server" - when run on the same stream - will also receive data (because both "openRTSP" and the "LIVE555 ProxyServer" use the same RTSP client code). (Unless, of course, the back-end server is a buggy 'Vivotek' camera, but you now know to stop using those :-) If, however, "openRTSP" fails to receive data from the back-end server, then the problem may be that the back-end server is behind a firewall that is blocking RTP/UDP packets. So instead, try requesting RTP/RTCP-over-TCP streaming, by adding the "-t" option to "openRTSP" - i.e. openRTSP -t -n rtsp://<back-end-stream> If that works, then adding the "-t" option to the "live555ProxyServer" command line will also work.
