Some details about the removal: RTSP streams are not displayed with version 3.0.12 on Debian Sid: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982299 liblivemedia: includes non-free code from RFC 3550: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=981439 Not sure how easy this is to rebuild with the right library. I might have tried straight from the upstream source. It's also on flathub if you use flatpak. I took the opportunity to switch to smplayer, which seems a lot better.
