I'm trying to stream a video using RTSP to the BeagleBone, but I have not had any luck.  Using mplayer, I call the following command: mplayer -vo fbdev2 -demuxer live555 rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov

This video works just fine with VLC player in Ubuntu (x86), but when running on the BeagleBone it does not.  I have installed the gst-plugins-good-rtsp, and libgstrtsp-0.10-0 packages.  Anything else that I could try?

ffmpeg seems to stream the video just fine, but I cannot seem to get it to display the video on either the framebuffer or on X if I'm running the gdm service.  For example:

This works by streaming the video and saving it as a .mov file.  If I copy this to my development machine the .mov file plays just fine.
ffmpeg -i rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov -c:v libx264 -f h264 test.mov

This does not work.  I get a lot of weird looking pixels on my display.
ffmpeg -i rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov -c:v libx264 -f h264 /dev/fb0
