How to create MediaPlayer from sdp file?

[ben-xD]

How can i play an RTP stream from an sdp file (text format). My sdp file describes a stream I am running locally. This sdp file works when i use ffplay (ffplay -protocol_whitelist file,rtp,udp example.sdp)

Python code

I'm just trying to load my sdp file using the following code. I also tried adding format='sdp' param

 media_player = MediaPlayer("/path/to/example.sdp")

SDP file contents (example.sdp)

v=0
o=- 0 0 IN IP4 127.0.0.1
s=Stream name
c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1
t=0 0
a=tool:libavformat 61.1.100
m=video 11030 RTP/AVP 96
a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000
a=fmtp:96 packetization-mode=1

Error:

That was just an unhelpful error message. After reading the error logs in stderr, I can see the root cause and fix that instead.
