Recent versions of the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software fixed some bugs with RTP-over-RTSP streaming (for both clients and servers) that could cause problems like this.  Therefore, you should make sure that both your clients *and* servers (even if they are not under your control :-) are using the latest version of the software.

A reminder, also, that RTP-over-RTSP streaming should be used *only* when you have a firewall (between the server and client) that prevents regular RTP/UDP streaming from working.  It should not be used solely to try to prevent 'data loss'.
