RTSP

[Geffrey Velasquez]

Hi friends, I need to use RTSP with RealPlayer 6 with NATed machines,
I tried to open the UDP ports 6970:6999 but it dont works.

Also I downloaded the patch-o-matic-20030912.tar.bz2 but it dont have
the RTSP patch.... how can I solve the problem?

You can try this:

Please let me know if it works.

Why did nobody submit that to patch-o-matic yet? 

Another issue, to quote from the above URL:

This is not possible.  The netfilter coreteam strongly opposes including
conntrack/nat helpers for protocols where there is not at least one free
software client and server implementation.  AFAIK, there is no free RTSP
server implementation so far.  Please inform me, if I'm wrong.

Is this what you are looking for ?

Server :
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/
Not GPL, but APSL. Don't know if that's enough.

Actually, here is a list with multiple servers and clients :
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/rtsp/implementations.html
I didn't check on all of them for licensing.

Because I don't do patch-o-matic and nobody else has seen fit to do it, I
suppose.

It's an IETF standard (well, RFC if you want to be technical).  I don't care
about your political games and I'm not going to bother hunting down a "free"
(whatever your definition of that word) implementation.  I'm sure they
exist.  If you don't accept a patch for a commonly used protocol that has
RFC status, then you are doing a disservice to your users.
