Sample Python script to employ RTSP/RTP to play a stream from an IP-cam (from stackoverflow)
"""
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28022432/receiving-rtp-packets-after-rtsp-setup
A demo python code that ..
1) Connects to an IP cam with RTSP
2) Draws RTP/NAL/H264 packets from the camera
3) Writes them to a file that can be read with any stock video player (say, mplayer, vlc & other ffmpeg based video-players)
Done for educative/demonstrative purposes, not for efficiency..!
