[vlc-devel] quicktime player playback over rtsp

[Martin Lindhe]

Hello, this patch "fixes" playback in quicktime player, using vlc as 
rtsp server.
However i do not suggest to apply it as is, as it's not a proper fix to 
the problem.

The problem is that quicktime player sends the following RTSP header, 
where vlc don't like the "Range" value being present.

PLAY rtsp://10.10.10.240:5554/bc106 RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 4
Range: npt=0.000000-
x-prebuffer: maxtime=2.000000
Session: 4f6d09539d6d398e
User-Agent: QuickTime/7.3 (qtver=7.3;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 2)
