For you it does, for me it doesn't, for some reason. ffplay hangs on reading
the input, vlc works fine though (suggesting that ffserver isn't a problem
here). This is after the bind/url_split patches have been applied, compiled
for ipv6, but I've also tried with and without those patches in ipv4-mode,
and I still see the same problem. ffplay always hangs here on reading udp
input from rtsp streams. This is on MacOSX 10.4. However, it doesn't error
on reading or on setting up the connection.

I noticed that vlc defaults to tcp, whereas ffplay defaults to udp. If I
configure rtsp.c (with rtsp_default_protocols) to default to TCP instead of
UDP, it works. Do I have to do something special to get it to stream over
udp, or set up ffserver in a different way?
