Perhaps your server just isn't sending them (in the stream)?  SPS and 
PPS NAL units (I don't know anything about "SEI" NAL units) are 
usually encoded in the stream's SDP description (which is sent in 
response to the RTSP "DESCRIBE" command), but not necessarily in the 
stream itself.

To overcome this, you will need to decode the PPS and SPS NAL unit 
data from the SDP description, and insert these at the front of the 
stream that you pass to your decoder.  Specifically, you call 
"MediaSubsession:: fmtp_spropparametersets()" on your 'subsession' 
object, to get the appropriate configuration string, and then decode 
this string by calling "parseSPropParameterSets()".  (See 
"liveMedia/include/H264VideoRTPSource.hh".)
