Allow rtsps URLs

[nh2]

Hi, thanks for this nice app.

Gstreamer also allows rtsps URLs (RTSP over a secure TLS connection), but your client forbids those here.

Could you make another version that does not have these restriction, potentially allowing any URL that gstreamer accepts?

That would be very helpful!

I just want to say that this (rtsps:// URL) actually works.

I'm setting up a server like described here using gst-rtsp-server/examples/test-video. This uses a demo/invalid SSL certificate, so I had to add to the code to ignore all certificate errors to try it out:

It worked!

Code suggestion: Simply remove all constraints on the URI:

If you remove this startsWith restriction, your viewer can indeed play secure RTSP sources - which seems to be a unique feature across all available apps on the Market, VLC and RTSP Player both cannot do this!
