 Newer ffplay versions don't fall back to TCP when playing RTSP streams.
 The last tested version which did a proper fall-back was 4.2.7-0ubuntu0.1
 (e.g. from Ubuntu 20.04). See attached ffplay-ubuntu20.04-works.txt

 With newer versions I was unable to play the same TCP stream anymore.
 Failing versions which I've tried:
 - 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 (e.g. from Ubuntu 22.04), see attached ffplay-
 ubuntu22.04-worksnot.txt
 - self-compiled snapshot from Sept 9th (e.g. N-108064-gdb85e01fd7 compiled
 on Ubuntu 22.04), see attached ffplay5-not-working-snapshot20220908.txt

 Reproducing might be hard without having a RTSP camera with TCP stream
 available. I'm happy to provide all possible details.

 The IP address:port in the Log is 127.0.0.1:1554 because there is a local
 SSH tunnel to the destination network. But this hasn't been a problem for
 the older version of ffplay and works well on my Ubuntu System with VLC.

 Adding the parameter "-rtsp_transport tcp" makes the stream playable
 immediately (tested with above 4.4.2 version).
