Details

Description:

A recent update (can't remember which one) removed live-media (live555)
support from mplayer.

live-media is still in makedepends of the mplayer PKGBUILD so it is
probably a ./configure auto-detection problem.


Fix:

I guess there is a more elegant solution but the following additional
flags worked for me:

--extra-cflags="-I/usr/lib/live-media/BasicUsageEnvironment/include -I/usr/lib/live-media/UsageEnvironment/include -I/usr/lib/live-media/groupsock/include -I/usr/lib/live-media/liveMedia/include"
--extra-libs="-L/usr/lib/live-media/UsageEnvironment -L/usr/lib/live-media/liveMedia -L/usr/lib/live-media/groupsock -L/usr/lib/live-media/BasicUsageEnvironment -lUsageEnvironment -lliveMedia -lgroupsock -lBasicUsageEnvironment"


Additional info:

mplayer 29411-3


Steps to reproduce:

mplayer rtsp://<some-addr>/some/path
This task depends upon

According to http://www.live555.com/mplayer/, you should use:
./configure --with-extraincdir=<path-to-LIVE555-Streaming-Media-library-directory>

Could someone provide a rtsp address for testing.

Maybe these works:

Thanks, but unfortunately, none of them work for me. However, I finally found several streams for testing [1].
A patch for the PKGBUILD is attached.

Apparently, the streams from gentoo-wiki are not live555 ones and even the latest mplayer from extra can play them. Therefore, I do not know if live555 actually works, but at least, it is now compiled in.

mplayer from extra:
