FFMPEG API: How to connect to RTSP stream using av_open_input_file?

Question

I\'m trying to connect to some RTSP stream using av_open_input_file() like this:

AVFormatContext* ic; avcodec_register_all(); av_register_all(); av_open_input_file

Answer 1

Turned out I did not enable network support when building FFMPEG.

The following options worked for me:

--enable-network --enable-protocol=tcp --enable-demuxer=rtsp --enable-decoder=h264
