No, this seems to be a problem specific to VLC (which is not our software).  As 
far as I can tell (from the link that you included), the problem is that VLC is 
storing old URLs somewhere, and then doing a case-insensitive match when 
checking whether a newly-entered URL has been used before (and then - if 
there’s a match - reusing the previous URL rather than the new URL).  This 
appears to be happening outside the LIVE555 software (which VLC uses when its 
acting as a LIVE555 client).

If, however, you can identify a specific problem with the LIVE555 code 
(identifiable by using LIVE555 RTSP client code - e.g., “openRTSP” or 
“testRTSPClient” - only), then let us know.

If, on the other hand, you’re asking that LIVE555 RTSP *servers* ignore the 
case of stream names in URLs, then the answer is again No - because some server 
developers might want to allow their server to support more than one stream, 
whose names differ in case.  (Also, stream names might be ‘internationalized’ - 
i.e., encoded as UTF-8 - and case-insensitive comparison might not work (or 
work incorrectly) if performed on UTF-8 stream names.)
