RTSP support in Qt

Does Qt Support RTSP?

If yes, then can someone post a few lines of code to play video?

The Phonon module is relatively new in Qt, and AFAIK it does not support RTSP. yet.
Basically you can playback few widely supported formats, such as MP3 files.
It has the building blocks to extend in order to support it though, not sure if its worth the energy though, since you can use other available ready libs.
Have a look at the Phonon docs.

keyur259, Did you find a solution to this? I am using Phonon to play back video files, but when I provide an rtsp url as the media source, I get an error, "Can not open file for read or write". I'm using Qt 4.6 on Fedora.
