By “streams”, do you mean transmits, or receives?
If you mean “transmits”, then what is generating the H.264 video? Is it coming
from a file, or from a device (that the OS treats as a file)?
If you mean “receives” (which, from the context, I think you do), then do the
(unmodified!) “testRTSPClient” and “openRTSP” applications work OK for
receiving this RTSP stream?
You should begin by running the supplied “openRTSP” application:
http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ <http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/>
(note, in particular, the “-D <maximum-inter-packet-gap>” option; you may find
that useful)
and the “testRTSPClient” demo application, and familiarize yourself with this
code, before you dive into trying to write your own RTSP client.
If a call to “getNextFrame()” does not return any data - i.e., the ‘after
getting’ (“OnData”, in your example) function does not get called, then that
simply means that the upstream object has stopped delivering data. (If the
upstream object has ‘closed', then the “OnClose” function will get called.) In
any case, you should never call “getNextFrame()” again until the ‘after
getting’ function gets called (indicating the reception of data). In fact, our
code is deliberately set up to prevent this (if you try, you’ll get the
"attempting to read more than once at the same time” error message).
You *could*, if you wish, call “stopGettingFrames()”, and then call
“getNextFrame()” again. But what would be the point? The upstream object
stopped delivering data for a good reason (presumably because the RTSP server
stopped sending data). There’s no point in trying again (other than by tearing
down the RTSP session, and creating a new one).

ps. I don’t take kindly to people using silly pseudonyms in a professional
forum like this. Why do you choose not to disclose your real name?
