Greg,
Thanks for the suggestion, but try as I might, I can't seem to force TCP
only. I've played around with my router settings(Linksys) and Firewall
settings, Windows network settings, but I can't seem to prevent UDP
traffic from streaming.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Chris

Subject: RE: Lost UDP packets streaming with DSS
Chris-
There is an undocumented feature in QuickTime (at least for Windows)
that
will force TCP. The only strange thing about this, is that it only
actually
forces TCP if UDP doesn't work. I have been trying to get an exact
explanation of this for about 2 years, but nobody seems to know.
Maybe we can ask again?
This should force you to TCP if your netowrk or firewall doesn't allow
UDP:
rtsp://123.45.67.8:554/stream
Specifying the port seems to force TCP under no UDP conditions.
Anymore information anyone?
Thanks.
-greg.

Subject: Lost UDP packets streaming with DSS
I have DSS 5.0.3.2 running on a Red Hat Linux box. I have QT 6.5.2
running
on a XP box. The two computers are connected with a cross-over Ethernet
cable running 100Mb. Nothing else is on the network. When I stream
RTSP/RTP data by typing the URL
"rtsp://192.168.1.103/sample_100kbit.mov"; on
the QT player, I get significant packet loss. I have installed Ethereal
on
both boxes. The traces tell me that all the packets on the server side
are
being sent to the server driver, but are "lost" by the time they get to
the
client. Where are they most likely getting lost? Is this a buffer or
queuing problem? Or is it a hardware issue with the NIC's? Are there
configuration parameters I can play with that might help? I've tried
every
configuration option on the client side with no luck.
And finally, is there some way to force QT and DSS to use TCP instead of
UDP. QT 6.5.2 doesn't seem to allow that configuration.
Thanks, Chris
