Thanks Ross, Regarding issue 1) You might be right, I'll try to reproduce while recording network traffic.
Regarding issue 2) > the state for the stream has timed out, and the proxy server then attempts to > re-open a RTSP connection to the ‘back-end’ server.

The issue is triggered when there is network outage, and can be reproduced by forcing the 'back-end' devices to repeatedly reconnect to the WIFI. After reproducing a few more times, I suspect the reestablishing of network connection (sometimes) happens because there is a race condition/timing issue: Example 1) Sep 05 18:24:18 ProxyServerMediaSubsession[(NULL),H264]::closeStreamSource() Sep 05 18:24:18 ProxyServerMediaSubsession[(NULL),H264]::~ProxyServerMediaSubsession() Sep 05 18:24:18 ProxyServerMediaSubsession[(NULL),MPEG4-GENERIC]::~ProxyServerMediaSubsession() Sep 05 18:24:18 Opening connection to 192.168.0.126, port 554...
