Do you have a firewall somewhere that could be blocking UDP packets 
(from the server to the client)?  If so, try adding the "-t" option 
to "openRTSP"; this will request RTP-over-TCP streaming.

However, that doesn't explain why VLC did not work for you, because 
VLC automatically switches to trying RTP-over-TCP streaming if it 
does not receive RTP-over-UDP packets within 10s.  (Your log shows 
that VLC is doing this.)
