Besides, there may be other clients out there that would benefit from this patch.
For the last time: I won't be adding a patch to have the server set the "timeout=" parameter, because this would - incorrectly - be telling cliente that they need to send periodic RTSP commands to indicate 'liveness'. What I *will* do is change the default server "reclamationTestSeconds" value to 65 seconds. That should solve the problem you're having with your client.
The coming IPTV revolution is going to result in a whole lot of random STBs you've never heard of from companies you've never heard of coming on the market.
Any of these STB manufacturers are welcome to contact me directly (or use this mailing list) if they require assistance making their products work with our software (or make them standards compliant in general). But I'm not going to change the server software just to help some random company I've "never heard of" that happens to be too lazy (or clueless) to follow protocol standards.
I'm getting really tired of the (apparently common) attitude that the software that's embedded in a special-purpose physical device (no matter how small, obscure and transient its manufacturer) is somehow 'sacrosanct', and that it should always be *our* software that has to adapt to work with them, even if they're flouting protocol standards.
