How to disconnect client

[microadam]

Hello,

Trying to figure out how to disconnect the currently connected client.

I figured calling server.stop() would do this, but this doesn't seem to do anything.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hm, there's currently no method to forcibly disconnect a client. What's the usecase for doing this, rather than having the client disconnect itself?

I have a system whereby outputs are dynamically added and removed. When a client connects, if there are no outputs available, I would like to disconnect them. Similarly, if while a client is connected, all the outputs are removed, I would also like to disconnect them (can link you to some code if you are interested).

Code sample would be nice!

Hmm, I'm not sure if there's a built in way for speakers to disconnect a client. The simplest (but forceful) way would be to kill the RTSP connection and stop sending packets. Would want to test to see how quickly the client sees the disconnect.

Forceful would be fine. I figured server.stop() would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Code sample here:

The 2 places where I do

server.stop()
server.start()
