Stream an opencv video over RTSP - opencv

Question

Does anyone know a link where I can catch RTSP stream to test video capture with rtsp video source? I have tried it with usb cam and with webcam, but I want to test it with RTSP stream.
Here is the source:
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
VideoCapture cap("rtsp:\\ANYTHING,PLEASE"); // open the video file for reading
if ( !cap.isOpened() ) // if not success, exit program
{
cout << "Cannot open the video file" << endl;
return -1;
}
//cap.set(CV_CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC, 300); //start the video at 300ms
double fps = cap.get(CV_CAP_PROP_FPS); //get the frames per seconds of the video
cout << "Frame per seconds : " << fps << endl;
namedWindow("MyVideo",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE); //create a window called "MyVideo"
while(1)
{
Mat frame;
bool bSuccess = cap.read(frame); // read a new frame from video
if (!bSuccess) //if not success, break loop
{
cout << "Cannot read the frame from video file" << endl;
break;
}
imshow("MyVideo", frame); //show the frame in "MyVideo" window
if(waitKey(30) == 27) //wait for 'esc' key press for 30 ms. If 'esc' key is pressed, break loop
{
cout << "esc key is pressed by user" << endl;
break;
}
}
return 0;
}

You can simply generate a RTSP stream with Videolan VLC.
Media / Stream / Add any video file / Stream / RTSP Add / Port and path / Video H.264 + MP3 (MP4) / Stream.
Then you obtain a video streaming with something like rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/vid. Of course you can read that stream using VLC or OpenCV.
