Try changing the order of the arguments:

$ mplayer -loop 0 udp://239.1.2.3:4567

I haven't run that exact command, but when I try a similar one with a
different IP address and port, it seems to retry indefinitely. (The
attempt-and-retry messages flood the terminal where the command was run,
but that's probably to be expected.)
