The problem here is that VLC - when run as a RTSP server - is not standards
compliant. It should be listening to incoming RTCP "RR" packets from the
client, and using them to tell it that the client is still alive. (Note that
VLC's RTSP server implementation - unlike its RTSP client implementation - does
not use our software.)
VLC - when run as a client - works around this bug by explicitly sending a
'dummy' RTSP command ("GET_PARAMETER", I think) periodically. But it shouldn't
have to, because RTCP "RR" packets (which all compliant RTSP/RTP clients are
required to send) should be enough. Please tell the developers of VLC to fix
this bug.
Alternatively, use some other RTSP server (such as ours), instead of VLC.
