Describe the issue

I have configured rtsp-simple-server with RTSPS to allow connections from Amazon Echo video device (RTSPS reader)

This works fine with version 0.17.17.

I tried upgrading to the latest version 0.19.1 and the Amazon device initiates the connection but will not play the stream (says Buffering... forever).

The breaking change is somewhere in version 0.18.0. The Amazon device doesn't provide any logs so I don't know what it doesn't like. Could you speculate about differences between 17.17 and 18.0 that might cause failure?

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. start the server
2. publish with on demand ffmpeg source
3. read with Amazon Echo video device using RTSPS

Hello, the main different between v0.17.17 and v0.18.0 is that the latter parses all incoming RTP/RTCP packets and re-encodes them. Anyway, please post a sample configuration and a server log with logLevel: debug, maybe it contains something useful.

this can't be solved without help from the author.
