libvlc_new is one line too...

Even for FFmpeg or a avio module in VLC, if you want to have trick-play,
or other complex features, you will need to extend FFmpeg API and code
them to use them from VLC.
Adding a FFmpeg protocol does not magically add it to the above software...

The difference is that the VLC core team is extremely limited, and
extremely time-constrained, with an extrem large number of user, so that some
"niche" bugs, like RTSP issues, are usually not priotirized highly.

So, per my experience, if you want a quick fix on this issue, and you
have the skills, you should do it.

One is refusing to do something, the other is knowing it will not be
prioritized with the highest prio and that 2.2.0 will be out before
that...

With my kindest regards,
