LibVLC RTSP metadata stream

I've built a qt player based on LibVLC and vlc-qt DemoPlayer example(QT 5.4.1).

The stream works well, the video is working like a charm.

I would want to parse metadata stream from an IP Camera's RTSP stream (it sends some simple xml data with information about object movement and so on) and draw some lines based on the metadata gathered from the stream.

I'm having a bit of trouble with finding the right place to get that data.

As far as I can see LibVLC ignores the part of a stream that it cannot parse.

Has anyone tried to do something like that and point me in the right direction or maybe I'm on a wrong track and there is a better solution?:)

That depends, but it's probably in the live555 module.
