This is silly. We need to stop inventing our own ridiculous url
schemes and honor the standard ones. Also there's no legitimate reason
for multiple implementations of the same thing in MPlayer especially
when one of them has nasty issues (like C++ in this case). live555
should be removed as soon as there are no regressions with using
nemesi.
