Marking as patch-rejected-upstream due to Rémi's comments in linked
forum thread:

I thought I made myself clear but to reiterate:
1/ No, we won't add an option for this. There are already enough obscure options in VLC, including in the RTSP stack. This does not solve the problem in any meaningful way. One in a million user would know to use that option to work around a broken RTSP server.
2/ The bug is in the RTSP server. The fix belongs in the RTSP server. The VideoLAN project has enough of its own bugs to cope with.
3/ For servers that don't support GET_PARAMETER (or pretend not to), VLC or rather liblive555 also sends RTCP-RR. So there is no excuse for RTSP server to time out VLC-based clients.

Open-source is not a synonym for working around bug in proprietary
software. Quite the opposite - those who make money from their software
have no excuse not to fix their bugs.
