Greetings:<div>I'm using the live555 RTP plugin in VLC. I'm feeding an RTP stream to it (generated by an RTSP session) that is being carried via multiple CDMA data cards... each network path has unknown and changing delay characteristics... packets arrive out of order, and sometimes they are lost.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I instrumented the RTP code so that it tells me the history of the RTP sequence numbers at the receiver. </div><div><br></div><div>It appears that whenever a packet is lost, the receive "hangs"... presumably because it's patiently waiting for an arrival that will never happen?</div>
