At this point, you are past my ability to help. Either there are major
bugs in the RTSP demuxer being used (not terribly likely), or there is
some problem with the server program such that it is e.g. not muxing the
file correctly. At this point, unless someone else pipes up with more
suggestions, I would advise that you first locate the server
configuration file (as explained in the other mail) and see what the
settings are, and then locate and read the server documentation to find
out what you need to set in order to stream that type of file.

If you need help with the RTSP server itself, I would advise you to find
a discussion forum (whether a mailing list or some other type) related
to the discussion of that server program, as I mentioned at the end of
the mail to which you just replied; at that point, you are entirely
beyond the bounds of what can be considered relevant to MPlayer.
