Ok, I installed mplayer, not familiar with it but I get the following:
$ mplayer rtsp://admin:@192.168.1.15:88/videoMain
Creating config file: /home/bobg/.mplayer/config
MPlayer 1.3.0-6.2.1 (C) 2000-2016 MPlayer Team

It still has the default settings, user admin and the password is empty. Not sure if I

According to the manual, the rtsp port is 554 and not 88 as you've entered above.
