Try instead:
	live555ProxyServer -p 554 -u user pass 'rtsp://cameraip/videostream’
I.e., use "-u <username> <password>” (*not* -U), and don’t include the username:password in the RTSP URL.

Try adding the -V (upper-case V) option, to get verbose diagnostic output, and send us this diagnostic output, when the problem occurs.
