VLC and RTSP

Question

Hey all,
A recent upgrade of vlc broke the rtsp support. When I open an RTSP stream my command line shows warning like these:
[0x2f08008] main input error: open of `rtsp://mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201&flavour=hd' failed: (null)
Did anyone else encountered the same problem? Is there any known fix?
Thanks

Answer 1

I resolved the issue, short story, live-media should be built static and not dynamic...
I've being trying to resolve the issue the
whole day, but whatever I tried ( that's already suggested here or on the french forum since RTSP is mostly used by people owning a FreeBOX in France) I always get this:
libvlc warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/demux/liblive555_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/vlc/demux/liblive555_plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZTI9HashTable)
Googling this error led me to http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php … 03#p221068
Below is the new live-media PKGBUILD, compile it and then re-compile VLC
