Jonathan,

What do you mean by “non-RTP video” (I assume that’s what you meant)?  What 
kind of video is this, and how is it packaged and sent (presumably over raw 
UDP)?

The problem here is that’s no IETF-standard way for a SDP description to 
describe a video (or audio) stream that’s not being sent over RTP.  And our 
RTSP server (actually “PassiveServerMediaSubsession”) code is not set up to 
deal with multicast streams that don’t use RTP.

If your stream were RTP, then it would be easy (using the LIVE555 libraries) to 
set up a RTSP server that just ‘advertised’ a multicast stream, without 
actually sending it.  Why aren’t you using RTP?
