[vlc] RTSP client in vlc 2.1

Gilles,

The real problem here seems to be that the LIVE555 code (which you're using as your server) is behaving unexpectedly.  Because of this, the best place to discuss this problem is the "live-devel at lists.live555.com" mailing list (see <http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#mailing-list-address> for more information) - rather than a VLC mailing list.

If there's a problem with the LIVE555 server code, then the proper solution would be for us (Live Networks, Inc. - the developer of that code) to fix that code, rather than asking VLC to change its behavior.

This, on the other hand, appears to be a legitimate VLC-related issue.
