    Anyone familiar with the low level RTSP protocol?

    Well in fact Wireshark can show it, no problem (including deeper analysis/decsription of the RTSP protocol itself) but as you can see it is not as readable as SmartSniff, this is why I alwasy recommend this small SmartSniff freeware tool (part of excellent NirSoft utilities by the way) that is...
