RTSP streams lost in v0.9.5 onwards

[sshaikh]

Which version are you using?

v0.9.5 onwards

Describe the problem

When trying to access a single (proxied?) stream from multiple clients, the stream gets closed for all of them.

Sample output has the following during the disconnections, whereas previously logs were quiet:

x.x.7.1 is the client running VLC
x.x.0.6 is the host running rtsp-simple-server
x.x.6.1 is the source ip camera

and my config looks like the following:

paths:
  cam1:
    source: rtsp://addr
    sourceProtocol: udp

I've determined that v0.9.4 is the latest version that does not demonstrate this behaviour.

I second this, everysince v0.9.4 my streams experience frequent disconnects. I have 8 RTSP cameras using a combination of UDP/TCP. Issue is present with TCP.

Hello, thank you very much for reporting the issue; this should be fixed in v0.9.11, please try and let me know.

[gustavobsch]

Thanks it's stable now
