After running openRTSP the last thing displayed is Data packets have begun arriving [#####], I did not here any beep. After browsing the source I found that the playCommon.cpp has this message and a \007, which apparently did not cause the beep (no big deal). Now I see I have started streaming from my back end RTSP. I ran a camera in question all night and no other message followed the Data packets have begun arriving. I assume this means all is good.
I will leave the openRTSP running longer to see if I get any messages or if it just disconnects. I am making the assumption that my camera is streaming, because openRTSP does not exit or report streaming has stopped. I do have one question, if the proxy server or openRTSP loses a session from a camera it will reconnect, correct?

I will connect the openRTSP to the source back-end when it fails and see if it works. No! You should test your back-end stream using "openRTSP" *FIRST*, before using a media player. The reason for this is that media players usually do not give you a clear indication of what is going on. (For example, "VLC" automatically - behind the scenes - requests RTP/RTCP-over-TCP streaming if RTP-over-UDP streaming appears to fail. So you won't know whether or not you need to give the proxy server the "-t" option.) NOTE TO EVERYONE: When you're testing a RTSP stream to check whether it's available, "openRTSP" should be the *FIRST* thing that you try. Only then should you try using a media player. And it makes no sense to talk about "connecting openRTSP (or any other client) to a back-end stream when it fails", because that probably won't tell you anything. You'd be requesting a whole new session. Ross Finlayson Live Networks, Inc. http://www.live555.com/
