Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.12-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading vlc-3.0.11 to 3.0.12 RTSP streams are not displayed
anymore.
I checked if all modules and plugins are installed.
All, which are available on Debian Sid, are installed but rtsp
access+demux is not.
Downgraded to version 3.0.11 to regain the functionality
and could watch stream of my security cameras again.
This problem persists on Sid/Bullseye and on Testing.

Thank you for all your hard work!

That's expected. We had to disable those plugins as liblivemedia
constains non-free code. See #981439. Maybe that's wort a NEWS entry and
a note in the release-notes.

Oh, that is a bad news..... :(

Would you please tell me if you have any plan to rewrite some code to play RTSP stream again? It is a very fine function.

ineffective)?

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 :

Your input can't be opened:

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://ubnt:ad...@192.168.2.76:554/s1'. Check the log for details.


^ 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:

[00007fc288001850] main stream debug: connection succeeded (socket = 43)
[00007fc288001850] main stream debug: net: opening 0.0.0.0 datagram port 9048

[00007fc288001850] main stream debug: no access modules matched
[00005624f664e600] main playlist debug: dead input
[00005624f6695330] qt interface debug: IM: Deleting the input
[00005624f664e600] main playlist debug: changing item without a request (current 1/2)
[00005624f664e600] main playlist debug: nothing to play
[00005624f6695330] qt interface debug: Video is not needed anymore


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,

Bryant Eadon
