Nobody owes nobody and as I said in my previous mail, smartjog.com 
people are not involved in the developpements I do.

I totally agree. Ross has been VERY helpfull but he changed his attitude 
without giving much more explanation that "I wont provide free 
consulting support for your project" and black listed me. "My project" 
as he said is "RTSP support in VLC". This explains my deception about 
him and the mail I sent.

You're right! And I am also donating time to VLC and I was donating time 
also to LIVE.COM by trying to make it work with VLC. I am unfortunately 
not able to contribute by giving money to ROSS for an educationnal 
project. By black listing me, he stopped any possible dialog and this is 
not the best way to have a smart discussion.

Once again I work for this company but I do not contribute in VLC for 
SmartJog.
