Source notes citing this source

• During a live capture the RTP stream dialogs are not refreshed automatically; the user must press Refresh streams. in context
• The RTP Player can play any codec supported by an installed codec plugin, listed under Help > About Wireshark > Plugins filtered by the codec type. in context
• The Wireshark guide warns that the rtp_udp heuristic dissector can produce false positives, especially when UDP is set to try heuristic dissectors first. in context
• Wireshark recognises RTP streams from VoIP signaling such as SDP in SIP; when the signaling is not in the capture, RTP must be decoded manually with Decode As or by enabling the rtp_udp heuristic dissector. in context
