[MPlayer-dev-eng] MPlayer RTP Support

[Felix Buenemann]

Hi Ross,

about two month ago you wrote about a patch that adds extended RTP support to 
MPlayer, as it seems you stopped further development of it.

Now here's something interesting: MPlayer-CVS now supports the usage of 
RealONE Player linux binary dlls, so rtsp-streaming support, as planned by 
you would become extremely handy!

Here's are some things that should be fixed in your code:
- Update the patch to MPlayer-CVS

- Write the wrapper file in C instead of C++, this it not nonsense, but for 
the reason, that it should be possible to compile MPlayer without the need 
for a C++ compiler, so whole MPlayer sourcetree should be C (and inline asm 
if needed). I looked at your wrapper code and it didn't use any C++ 
specifics, like classes, overloading etc. only variable declaration wasn't at 
the beginning of blocks. (Btw. users could eg. use precompiled binary of your 
libs and still compile MPlayer with only a C compiler.)

- Do not remove current streaming code, but leave it in an #ifdefed block 
like: #ifndef HAVE_LIVECOM [old code] #else [new code] #endif

- Implement rtsp-streaming - this would be the killer-feature :)

Happy to hear from you, thanks!

Btw. I've send a copy to this mail to mplayer-dev-eng list, so feel free to 
reply to that list only instead of me, if you like or reply only to me, I'll 
make sure the information gets spread.
