[Libav-user] Problems Receiving H.264 RTSP Stream

[Luke Clemens]

i'm the guy who originally wrote that "proposed fix" for the bug. the fix
definitely resolves the issue with many ip cameras, but i can say with
certainty that if you're having the problem with TCP as well, then you have
a different problem. also while some of the errors are the same (like the
MB ones), there are some that i've never seen. i agree with camera man - if
you still have the problem even with TCP, then it can't be the network MTU.
my guess would be there is something in your own sending software that's
corrupting the stream. maybe a codec setting in lib555 or something?

try enabling debug mode and then a super simple app like:

while (1) { av_read_frame(ctx, pkt); }

if you have any errors in that, then you can probably blame the RTP layer.
if not, then it is most likely an h.264 thing. sorry i can't help much, but
at least it's a start...
