VLC server supports RTCP. VLC client does not support RTCP. Neither of them support SRTCP.

Pls guide me...I get RR packets from VLC client when I stream using RTSP/RTP. But with only RTP Streaming I dont get those packets. Also I dont see RR packets sent by VLC in wireshark in case of wireshark.I did this to check as to if I am trying to receive on wrong port on my server side..so, is it because in case of RTP only streaming the client does not know where to send RR packets while in case of RTSP It does ...????
Thanks in advance.....

VLC server supports RTCP. VLC client does not support RTCP. Neither of them support SRTCP.
I use VLC Player to RECEIVE data from the camera. I use wireshark and I see RTSP packets both vlc and camera, I see rtp from camera but I dont see any RTCP packet even the camera is supporting it. The reason behind of it is the thing what you mention????even if so I read that RTCP packets are send continuously then does it mean that my camera is not sendintng RTCP packets so I couldnt see them on wireshark and of course no packet vlc couldnt support it ???
Thank you in advance

first of all thank you for reply
Ok It supports... just I filter wireshark with RTCP and I saw the files but what I get from camera to Pc RTCP file and info is like this "Source Description" : with details --> "RTCP frame length check : Wrong (expected 24bytes, found 4 bytes)"

I think this is the reason that VLC is not supporting to send report to camera....If it is possible please explain
