When I try to receive a stream using the “openRTSP” command-line client, the RTSP protocol exchange appears to work OK, but the resulting data file(s) are empty. Whats wrong?

RTP/UDP media (audio and/or video) packets from the server are not reaching the client, most likely because there is a firewall somewhere inbetween that is blocking UDP packets. (Note that the RTSP protocol uses TCP, not UDP.) To correct this, either fix your firewall, or else request RTP-over-TCP streaming, using the “-t” option to “openRTSP”.
