Hi Experts I’m testing a Samsung S3 phone to stream live Traffic in my city via city’s server (RTSP://00.00.00.00:554/1/VideoInput/mpeg4/1) and it stops at every 13 seconds. I’m using Video Player,MX Player,BS Player,VLC Direct pro and all acting the same (stop at 13sec).It’s working flawlessly with the iPhone 4 using VLC as well but when I switched to Samsung S3 it doesn’t work quite well.Please advise if I need to do something else to make it works? Thank you very much. Thai ---

Hi Can you confirm that the iPhone is using the same network that you are testing the S3 phone on? It may be that the service provider is blocking the keepalive. Can you play the RTSP stream using VLC using the PC version rather than the VLC app. Jason ---

You might need to set rtspValidationFrequency to “0” [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming#cameraSpecific](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming#cameraSpecific) Richard ---

If you know where I can get it,please send me a link.I think only VLC works well with RTSP? I did not try the PC ver.yet but not sure if it works? If you know how to solve this problem,please let me know.Thank you and have a good day. Thai ---
