=== rtsp ===although mplayer does rtsp and depending on how it is compiled, it demonstrated poor ability with dropped frames compared to other options. mplayer rtsp://192.168.0.15:554obviously depends on encoding, however better results were achieved by alternatively using ffplay like this: ffplay rtsp://192.168.0.15:554ffplay uses FFmpeg libraries and the SDL library. On Ubuntu Mplayer has it's own FFmpeg implementation. Depending on your distribution and/or if you build from source your results will differ. You can build mplayer against the ffmpeg you have installed on your system. To do so add --disable-libavcodec_a --disable-libavutil_a --disable-libavformat_a --disable-libpostproc_a and --disable-libswscale_a to the mplayer configure line. To find out how your mplayer is linked type this: ldd `which mplayer`
