I think that the decision to use liblivemedia as protocol layer is a good way to go. Basically, you provide the URL, pick the wanted sub-streams, and liblivemedia delivers video and audio as separate data streams. If you're interested, I can share my work-in-progress source code. (well, not much progress lately...)
Yes, we are interested in looking at how streamplayer would handle rtsp. Using external libraries could be a very clean way to go for iptv plugin as well.
Testing is a bit hard since I'm not aware of suitable mpeg2 rtsp -stream providers. Are there any publicly available?
The vlc player with its integrated vlm server (aka. telnet interface) is a good starting point, as it provides RTSP VoD sources with the ability of play/pause and seek. I'm not sure, but I think vlm can also stream live streams. And even on-the-fly transcoding works.
Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can get vlc to provide rtsp streams to help in plugin development and testing.
