yeah. i saw it does that, but the problems you describe are the exact reasons we manage the code ourself. its not that much work doing it yourself and i think you can develop a much more robust system IMO

VideoDisplay is set up to try 4 different ports. Open up the SDK source code to verify this. There may be other reasons not to use it, though. I've had significant problems with the VideoDisplay component for streaming media. It doesn't always properly open / close connections and in some situations you can get multiple streams playing at the same time. Only one video is displayed, but you can hear two (or more) audio tracks.
