I'm not an RTSP expert, but I do know that UDP doesn't go through a
normal NAT firewall (unless the app and firewall use uPnP, or the
firewall has a connection tracking helper).

If that's your problem, you may need to ask for help from your firewall
provider.

I don't know what the "retrying with TCP" part means, either, as I
didn't know RTSP had a TCP fallback.
