In the interests of keeping things together here is the link<http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f963e8f7ac35b75b>for my thread I started in the developers thread just a few days ago related to this.
I will file a bug request sometime soon unless anybody else can shed any light (although I don't know if there will be much attention paid to it). It is more a feature enhancement than a bug I think, but it's definitely causing me difficulty. The functionality to decode RTP streams is already built into OpenCore but unfortunately you can't pass an SDP file to the MediaPlayer (OpenCore Wrapper) unless it contains an RTSP stream link inside it. This is a bit dumb really... what's the point in passing an SDP file in that case? but ah. There seems to be a limitation that means that it will only accept SDP information with RTP streams inside if it gets them from the RTSP stream (e.g. it gets this information from SETUP in the RTSP protocal). Thus far it seems the only solution is to dump the RTP packets to a file (periodically close the file and write a new one) then periodically open these files in mediaplayer.
