Yes, realplayer use RTSP, I already try to reverse their network protocol,
but the use a challenge key between the client and the server, and both
check if the key is comming from a 'trusted' real software.

The only solution is, as Arpi said, to use the SDK. That's in C++ and
they use COM objects. One of my coworker know the SDK, I can
ask him to give me a quick overview and tell you how it works. 
AFAIK, everything is handle by the SDK, the file system reading
(local or network), the demuxer/codec, and the rendering.
I think there is also a licence issue too, I'm not quite possitive
but that something we need to check if we really want to support
real.
