[MPlayer-users] Trying to use -rtsp-stream-over-tcp

[Steve]

Hi All,

Actually, using the "-rtsp-stream-over-tcp" or not, gives the same message,
the difference is, at the end, where it says:
==================
Initiated "video/MP4V-ES" RTP subsession on port 33238
==================

If not using the "-rtsp-stream-over-tcp", then the stream starts to play
after this line.
If using the "-rtsp-stream-over-tcp", then the stream does not start to play
after this line.

Cheers,
Steve
