"rtp://" URLs are a non-standard hack, and work only for some media types.

For H.264 RTP streams, the media player client needs to get extra 
codec and stream-specific information from the server before it can 
play the stream, and for that you need RTSP.

So, you should add a RTSP server to your 'sender' application, and 
play the stream using a "rtsp://" URL.
