I have a session running now at:
 rtsp://jello.ironport.com:80/Bsdtest.sdp

try that..
I'll have it up at regular intervals until the devsummit
to allow testing.

not  a lot of action but a video and audio track (low light)
and low bandwidth (often < 100 kbits/sec).
(picture of my study with no motion going on)

It should be mpeg4-video and mpeg-4 audio with mpeg4 packetisation.

for VLC you apparently need:

 Preferences -> check Advanced, go to Input/Codecs->Demuxers->RTP/RTSP and check "Use RTP over RTSP (TCP)"

no idea what you need in mplayer.
