When the stream ends, the server should be sending a RTCP "BYE" 
packet, which your client (MPlayer) should be receiving.  That should 
be telling it that the stream has ended.  If, however, the server is 
not sending a RTCP "BYE", and is not closing the RTSP TCP connection, 
then there's not much you can do - because it's not telling you that 
the stream has ended.

Of course, If you really want to stop at this point, then just quit MPlayer :-)
