Have you tried this mplayer option:


      -rtsp-stream-over-tcp (live.com only)
              Used  with ?rtsp://? URLs to specify that the resulting incoming
              RTP and RTCP packets be streamed over TCP (using  the  same  TCP
              connection  as  RTSP).   This option may be useful if you have a
              broken internet connection that does not pass incoming UDP pack-
              ets (see http://www.live.com/mplayer/).
