I've been running for two days with openRTSP on a camera that had problems, 
openRTSP is still capturing video to the output file and the console last 
message has not changed.

One thing to note is when streaming stops from the proxy of the camera, if I 
connect to the camera directly it will stream.  My test was with gstreamer and 
not openRTSP to the proxy.

Could it be possible the problem is with the proxy session to the camera?  I'm 
no expert on RTSP but trying to learn as much as possible so I can stop asking 
so many questions.

I had to stop the openRTSP as I was running low on disk so I will restart it 
again to be sure the camera (back-end) continue to work.

If there is something else I can run it might be helpful?  Do you think using 
openRTSP connecting to the proxy server would shed any info?

Also to note, I did not have to use -t as UDP works fine.

Thanks,
Craig

Yes.  You should see a (large) file - containing H.264 Elementary Stream video 
data - sitting in the directory from which you ran "openRTSP".  (If you wish, 
you can rename this - with a ".h264" filename suffix - and VLC should be able 
to play it.)

I do have one question, if the proxy server or openRTSP loses a session from a 
camera it will reconnect, correct?

The proxy server will; but openRTSP will not (it's just a simple client 
application, that connects and streams only once).
