[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1268524, member: 82144"] Good question. I've never really thought about it, but now that you ask: nothing major that I'm aware of. As far as I'm aware RTSP has always been the default. I'd guess that's because it doesn't require much additional setup/configuration, is reasonably reliable, and Just Works for most people. My observation over the years is that UNC has only come up when people have experienced problems with RTSP or specifically asked about/for UNC. In terms of advantages and disadvantages, like I said, RTSP is probably considered easier to get working for most people. My understanding is that historically UNC had slightly better latency - less lag between selecting a channel and video/audio starting, and also better responsiveness for seeking/fast-forward/rewind. A few years ago Owlsroost did some work to improve RTSP's latency, so these days I'm not sure if UNC's advantage still applies. Anyway, I'm still interested to know whether the TsReader setting change enables RTSP to work in your setup, or whether the issue is something else. It's always nice to figure out the cause of an issue. However, given that UNC works, I'd understand if you don't have the time/inclination to test. [/QUOTE]
