Hi, Great library; thanks for the years of hard work which have gone into it.
I have a live555 on-demand RTSP server running locally (this is an older version from about 2013), streaming H.264 video (compressed by ffmpeg or a hardware codec depending on where I run the code). With VLC, when I start the stream nothing happens for 10-15 seconds, then: live555 warning: no data received in 10s. Switching to TCP After that, the stream plays fine in TCP mode. So I switched to openRTSP to get some more info: openRTSP -d 30 -q -w 640 -h 480 -f 30 -Q -n -l rtsp://127.0.0.1:5640 > test.mov The results are below, but I don't see any issues or explanations of why I get no data in UDP mode. If I add the -t switch, I get a perfect video; no issues (same as VLC). Some things I have checked: 1. fPresentationTime is a UTC timestamp which corresponds to now (in UTC). I get it from gettimeofday(). 2. OutPacketBuffer::maxSize = 20000; 3. Wireshark shows a deluge of RTP packets mostly of full MTU size, with correct timestamps (relative to 1900) (I have to run the same code on another machine to use Wireshark, but the situation is identical on the other machine in terms of UDP RTP packets not being received.) 4. Tracing into live555, I see that in MultiFramedRTPSource the condition bPacket->dataSize() is always zero, so the packet is always being skipped. I have dug through the mailing list and FAQ for related thoughts, but have exhausted the leads I could find. Any thoughts on what could cause my stream to completely not work on UDP while working fine on TCP, given that Wireshark tells me I'm getting the packets?
