<div>Who's "we"? GMail? I don't think so.
Your use of a "@gmail.com" email address tells me that
you're a casual hobbyist rather than a serious professional.
That's OK, but be warned that people who use unprofessional email
addresses (e.g., "@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com",
"@hotmail.com") are less likely to be supported on this
mailing list.</div>

<div>Yes, provided, of course that you're using the RTSP
protocol.</div>

<div>This is not a standard. In VLC, if you want to use
RTP-over-HTTP streaming, then you must explicitly configure it:</div>
<div><x-tab>
</x-tab>Preferences... -> Input/Codecs -> Demuxers ->
RTP/RTSP</div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>Then
click the "Advanced" check box</div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>Then
click the "Tunnel RTSP and RTP over HTTP" check box</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If this doesn't work, then please post the
(publically-accessible) "rtsp://" URL of the stream, so I
can test this myself.</div>
