If you can find a valid url or port,
you could try mplayer. It has support
for rtsp.

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

It still has the default settings, user
admin and the password is empty. Not
sure if I can set the password from the
browser, have not attempted that.
Dunno what to do from there?
