   Split into three issues:

   • RTSP over UDP unicast, with fallback to TCP #67 — RTSP over UDP unicast, with fallback to TCP
   • Receive plain RTP from Majestic outgoing over UDP (unicast and multicast) #68 — receive plain RTP from Majestic outgoing over UDP (unicast and multicast)
   • RTSP multicast and other RTSP transports (research: Majestic RTSP has no multicast) #69 — RTSP multicast and other RTSP transports. Research result: Majestic's RTSP server answers 400 'client_port' not found to a multicast SETUP, so for OpenIPC cameras multicast goes through Receive plain RTP from Majestic outgoing over UDP (unicast and multicast) #68.

   Closing this one in favour of them.

   Agreed design: UDP RTP cell (pushed stream, no RTSP)

   Besides RTSP over UDP and multicast (the original scope of this issue), the app will receive a stream that the camera pushes as RTP over UDP:

   • Where: the ninth cell of the 3×3 multi-view grid (8 RTSP slots + 1 UDP cell). Since feat: reserved UDP RTP cell: hint in the 9th cell and U in the menu #71 the cell shows the port and this device's address to send to.
   • Receiver: listen on UDP port 5600, depacketize with the existing NalAssembler, and detect H.264/H.265 from the NAL headers, because there is no SDP. Video only at first.
   • Full screen: a U button in the menu row after 8 opens the UDP cell full-screen, the same way the numbers open slots.
   • Camera side: the setting name for the UDP output in Majestic still has to be confirmed on a build that has it; the hint then names it exactly.

   Update: the pushed RTP over UDP part of the design above is tracked in #68 (UI prepared in #71); RTSP over UDP in #67 and multicast in #69.
