[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] handle RTSP server keep-alive

[Tommy Winther]

Hi,

This is an attempt at a fix for :
https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/945
and this thread on ffmpeg-user:
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2012-February/005100.html

The problem is that the RTSP server sends a keep-alive request as:
OPTIONS * RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 1
Session: 9789-3
and ffmpeg incorrectly parses this as a RTSP response, thus overwriting
the cseq.

The patch checks for the OPTIONS request from the server and sends a
RTSP/1.0 200 OK response, this fixes the keep-alive and the stream keeps
playing.

There is a tcpdump attached to the trac issue with full communication
for reference.
