Description Michael 2009-09-06 22:44:21 UTC
vlc can open and play rtsp streams. It does have a useflag called 'rtsp'. But after setting this useflag, only a very limited count (or none?) of types of rtsp streams work.

The 'live' useflag has the following description:
'Enables live.com streaming media support'

This is very misleading since it looks like it was some website-support. But live support is needed for other types of rtsp streams!

http://wiki.videolan.org/Live555

The description should point out that this useflag is needed for rtsp support.

Reproducible: Always

if you have in mind a nice wording to improve the description, please share it and i'll commit it.

Hmm, not sure. How about something as plain as:

'Enables live555 streaming media support (client support for rtsp)'

Best wishes
