I'm not simply guessing, the rtsp log shows that the stream transports
gstreamer tries to setup aren't supported by the server. Whether the transports
the server support is RDT or some other doesn't matter.

You use wireshark to trace the rtsp traffic. The transport used seems to be
x-pn-tng.

My changed title was and still is the real bug. gstreamer needs support for
real servers and the transports their using.
