VLC on Android builds without RTSP support

I have built vlc-android app following the HOWTO instructions and tried to use it with Axis camera producing H.264 video stream via RTSP protocol. vlc-android wouldn't open the stream - says "no access module matched "rtsp". Apparently, access_realrtsp tried to open it, but it works only for real/helix rtsp streams. The regular (desktop) VLC plays the same stream with no problem, using access_demux module "live555". How to make vlc_android to do the same? What is missing in the build scripts? I did not alter them, so it is exactly as in the git.

Please advise,

Vladimir

enable live555 when you configure vlc, before the build.

Sebastien,
Thank you for prompt reply.

If you mean configure.sh in vlc-android/extras/package/android, it has --enable-live555 --enable-realrtsp \ line. However, the next line shows --disable-live555. Should I remove this --disable-live555 instruction?

Please advise,

Vladimir

if live555 is disabled, you can't expect to have it in the build...
