Dude, he didn't ask you to modify your server, he asked if anybody out
there has successfully make the necessary changes to make it work,
perhaps in there own branch of the project. Since you have made this an
open source project there is a good chance somebody in the community of
users has done this and they might be willing to help him out, don't
jump down his throat for asking. Helping each other out whether you be a
professional or a hobbyist, etc is what open source is all about.
I totally agree with you on standards compliant players, server, etc but
try to be a little nicer.

Following up on my earlier message:
Yes, Microsoft is a large and influential company - but so is ESPN. If
enough large companies - like yours - lean on Microsoft asking them to
comply with the RTSP protocol standard, then perhaps they'll fix their
Media Player software in one of their frequent software updates. But
simply expecting us to (somehow) modify our server software to work
with Windows Media Player's non-standard (and undocumented) variant of
RTSP is counterproductive. Instead, you should encourage your clients
to use standards-compliant media players like VLC (or perhaps
QuickTime Player - although I don't think that plays Transport Stream
data). Alternatively, you could make your own branded media player
client (perhaps based on VLC), and distribute that to your clients to
use instead of Windows Media Player.
