Kevin, thanks for the quick response.

This might not be the right place to ask, but yes, I'm having problems
with RTSP over UDP.  It works fine on the local network, but from
outside, it doesn't work (just a gray rectangle).  The firewall has the
RTSP ports (both TCP and UDP) forwarded.

When I run mplayer from the command line, it looks like it tries to open
a couple additional random ports:

Initiated "video/MP4V-ES" RTP subsession on port 37110
Initiated "audio/PCMU" RTP subsession on port 37112

That's where it stops. The port numbers are different every time. Do I
need to forward these ports too? This will be problematic since I have
several video servers behind the firewall, not just one.

Note that in most cases, the client will also be behind a firewall, so
if the video server is attempting to connect back to the client, that
will be impossible.

Thanks again,
Mike
