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.
