Netembryo and libnemesi
I’ve posted another 2 packages to the Arch User Repository (AUR): netembryo and libnemesi. The first is a network abstraction library, the latter is an implementation of RTSP. Both didn’t exist in AUR yet so I guess there’s not much demand for them yet (I don’t even use them myself).
MPlayer has initial support for libnemesi to handle rtsp stream, as an alternative for live555 and that would be the only reason I wanted to try it out. MPlayer should automatically detect libnemesi. Otherwise you will have to append the –extra-cflags option to the ./configure statement.
While netembryo is getting more and more stable, libnemesi is still in early development and no official release exists as of yet. In fact, many libnemesi revisions don’t even want to compile so it can be a real drag to find one that does. I’ll save you some time: the public git version of 20090501 works.
