Hi,

When using a brand new axis camera, I stumbled upon the so-called "keep-alive" problem: the camera stops sending packets to my client after 60 secs. or so.

I tested this also with the openRTSP test program (the output is in the end of this message).

My questions are:

1) I suppose that openRTSP (and the RTSPClient class) sends periodic RTCP sender reports (based on RTSPClient source code) to the camera. Am I correct ? (i.e. no special custom implementation is needed to achieve this).

2) .. and that should be enough to keep the camera sending those frames, right ?

3) So maybe this a problem of the camera not fullfilling the protocol .. ?

When trying with vlc, I can see that vlc sends periodic "GET_PARAMETER" commands to the camera and - supposedly because of this - the camera does not kill the stream.

4) Is sending periodic "GET_PARAMETER" command a legitimate way of keeping the connection up and alive or simply a "hack" that is widespread ?

(I'm using "v2016.02.22" of live555)


Regards,

Sampsa
