Can your video player take input from 'stdin'? 
If so, use "openRTSP", with the "-v" option, to 
write the received video stream to stdout, and 
pipe this into your video player.

If your video player can't take input from 
'stdin' (or a named pipe), then you will need to 
modify your video player client (assuming that 
you have the source code) to include our RTSP 
client code, as VLC has done.  Alternatively, you 
could modify VLC (which already includes our RTSP 
client code) to include your video decoder, and 
use VLC as your player.
