Then please output your command line and MPlayers complete output.

That surprises me: Does pausing playback for a moment help?

To quote myself: "there is no way to set the buffer if you are using live555"
Meaning: If MPlayer uses the live555 library to receive the stream, buffer size
cannot be set.

Allow me to add that it seems you tried none of the two suggestions I made
before.
