The server supports reading streams with RTSP-based multicast, that requires an initial handshake with the server and therefore the explicit server IP. After the handshake, packets are sent with multicast, as you can see by using any network dissector.
Reading streams directly with RTP or using an explicit multicast IP is not supported.

Thanks for your consideration...
are you going to support it in near future? or this is a real limitation could not be done?

This is not a limitation. Raw RTP doesn't support multiple tracks, while raw multicast doesn't support authentication or multiple streams. RTSP supports both.
