[Libav-user] RTP/RTSP support in FFMPEG

Hi Luke,

Strange thing is that RTSP / RTP streaming works well with older versions of FFMPEG, it seems that version git-64ad53f from 2010 broke it.
Problem is that the older versions doesn't support the GET_PARAMETER which gives keep-alive problems in some RTSP servers.

Now I would like to play multimedia files from RTSP server. Please let me know if FFMPEG has support for acting as RTSP client and it's robust enough. How can I start using ffmpeg as RTSP client. How is it compared with the support available in CURL? Does FFMPEG have a better support compared to CURL? Please elaborate.
