There is no need to install that particular patch. It is best to install the most recent version (2.1.2). Then read these two tutorials:

Try this:
String rangeStr = req.getHeader(“range”);

Redownload patch7 and re-apply. I made a mistake in the fix. It is fixed now.

the right method is to get the RTPContext from the vhost and call:
RTPContext.shutdownRTPSession(RTPSession rtpSession);

I don’t know of any other way to do this. We don’t have as much control over RTSP/RTP as we do Flash. There is also is not very much consistency between the players. So all we can do is drop the connection.

You can re-stream an rtsp stream:

But it’s probably not what you want. I think the best solution is just to move the file from the RTSP server to Wowza content folder

Try IRTSPActionNotify

You can use Java [file.io](http://file.io) API in a Wowza module to delete a file.

Yes, absolutely. That’s they way to do it. And HTTProvider and ServerListener.

Test with VLC first, see if that works.

Check /conf/server12/Application.xml /RTP /Authentication /PlayMethod
Change from “digest” to “none”

If you are not able to play the sample either, you might have a configuration problem. Make sure Application.xml /RTP /Authentication /PlayMethod is set to “none”

Did you use this version Extremists.m4v?:

Try this:
```auto
public void onRTPSessionDestroy(RTPSession rtpSession) {
rtpSession.getRTSPStream().getStream().getElapsedTime();
}
```

There is some RTP/RTSP info in this HTTProvider example:

Not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe it will help figure out how.

No, It doesn’t work with H.264/AAC content. It will work with vp6 or sorenson spark encoding in flv files.

In Flash, the playStart, playLen, and playReset correspond to Nestream.play command arguments:
netstream.play(streamName, start, length, reset)
```auto
netstream.play("example.flv",0,-1,true)
```
These parameters don’t exist in IRTSPActionNotify onPlay.
Yes, I think rtpSession.getServerIP() returning clientIP may be a bug.

It should fix the rtpSession.getServerIp() bug.

There is not a way to send a message the client in RTSP streaming.
I think rtpSession.shutdown is the right option.
seek bar still moving a particular player is a player issue.
