The configure flag is --enable-live555.

Thanks. I was able to get a VLC build completed, and RTSP is now working again in my application.

...install the Snap version or build VLC with RTSP suppoet yourself.

So if I install the snap version, how do I use libVNC in my app? If I build myself, how do I make sure it includes RTSP - is that a configure flag?

I am using libvlc with Qt 6.4 under Ubuntu to play a RTSP stream. Until recently, it was working, but apparently when I updated Ubuntu to 21.04, something broke. Now attempts to play the same RTSP stream give me a "access_realrtsp stream error: rtsp session can not be established" error. T...

To update this discussion: the above cycle of create/release seems to work properly the first few times, but after several cycles over 24 hours or so, VLC starts locking up for extended periods of time on various commands, such as libvlc_media_player_stop().

I am using LibVLC (pulled from VLC version 3.0.9) in a Qt/C++ app I am running under xUbuntu Linux on an old (circa 2009 I think) MacBook Pro. The workflow I have is that, upon being triggered by external events VLC will be initialized using the code below, play for several seconds, then stop. This ...

I am using LibVLC (pulled from VLC version 3.0.9) in a Qt/C++ app I am running under xUbuntu Linux on an old (circa 2009 I think) MacBook Pro. Whenever I initialize the player (using a remote RTSP feed), I get the following string of errors. Note that the video *does* play, so clearly these errors a...
