Are you referring to the warning messages:
        RTCPInstance error: Hit limit when reading incoming packet over TCP. 
Increase "maxRTCPPacketSize” 
?

Those messages indicate that the RTCP transmitter is using an erroneous 
implementation of RTP/RTCP-over-TCP.

If the warning message is printed by your RTSP *client* (e.g., VLC), then it 
suggests that your RTSP server may be using a (very) old version of the 
“LIVE555 Streaming Media” software.  If your RTSP server is using our software, 
then please upgrade it to use the latest version; see
        http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#latest-version
If your RTSP server is an embedded system (such as a network camera) that uses 
our software, then note that it is a condition of the LGPL license that it be 
possible to upgrade its firmware to use the latest version of our software.  
Please inform the manufacturer of this server of this.

If the warning message is printed by your RTSP *server*, then it suggests that 
your RTSP client may be using a (very) old version of the “LIVE555 Streaming 
Media” software.  If your RTSP client is VLC, then you are running a very old 
version.  Please upgrade (see <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>).
