Description

Hello! I get this error message whenever I try to host a session!
"Fatal: Couldn't bind RTSP server to port [48010], likely another process already bound to the port"

it looks like another process is listening on that port, so I tried
'netstat -ano | findstr 48010' via cmd and it returned nothing, so the port is actually not busy

I also have noticed that sunshine shows the same exact error when open-stream is installed on the machine, so this is maybe a conflict between them? if so how can I completely get rid of sunshine? I know it's a portable app but maybe it has some leftovers here or there, after been executed through PowerShell?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the RTSP server bind failure on Windows and checking the reported port with the same environment described in the issue. Investigate whether an OpenStream or Sunshine process or leftover is responsible, then confirm the cause and document a reliable resolution when the server can bind successfully.
