I could'nt try with the lastest release (2006.10.07) since it was
segfaulting with VLC and finally used the 2006.03.16. I got a similar
error message with mplayer.
The issue seems to concern the SETUP resquest. There's a trailing
slash at the end which leads to a 404 error (see attached file).
I edited setupMediaSubsession() method (near line 860 from
RTSPClient.cpp) and removed 'separator' argument from sprintf. After
that my stream was playing smoothly.
Pausing and seeking were'nt working but I guess VLC isn't handling it
yet and that's not Live555 related.

I've also modified my previous patch according to different comments I
got. It seems to work quite well now (Linux / Win32). Slider isn't
perfect, I added a small hack avoiding strange behaviour with
wxWidgets interface.
I totally understand issues concerning code duplicity. My RTSP client
implemention isn't generic and complete at all, it's only adapted to
our server. Same goes for seeking and pausing features.
If you think subversion integration isn't possible we'll stick with
our own module and try to provide it to our dev/clients. Would be nice
at least if Live555 could play our streams.

Anyway, thanks you all for your concern.
