Can you point me to the non-free code ? RTSP has been a really nice feature in VLC for some time.
I really would like to see the support continue. Right now it's difficult to tell what's happening with the client because there are very vague error messages in the console :
^ This doesn't give the user a reason without looking deeper...
so we go on to enabling the environment variable to see what's going on :
export VLC_VERBOSE=3
Example:

The bolded error message is, also, very vague.I need you to tell use which codecs are rejected and WHY. Please modify the error message to include the set of rejected pieces of code, I might even suggest a quick link on the topic.
Otherwise, since we're talking about free/non-free code, what parts need to be written as free ? I'd love to see it as a bounty, write it myself, or post a bounty for it to be written.
Thanks,
