[MPlayer-dev-eng] Re: MPlayer RTP Support

[Ross Finlayson]

Felix,

Thanks for the note.  Yes, I'm planning to bring the MPlayer patch (to use 
the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" RTP libraries) up-to-date very soon.  This 
should also add RTSP client support.

One thing I can't do, however, is make the entire patch C++-free.  Because 
the LIVE.COM Streaming Media libraries themselves are C++, you already need 
a C++ compiler to build them, and because the libraries require C++ 
linkage, there also needs to be a small piece of C++ stub code that sits 
between the libraries and the rest of MPlayer.  (Note, though, that people 
who don't wish to use the LIVE.COM support won't be compiling any of this 
code, so they won't need to deal with C++ code at all. )

	Ross.
