Today I was also trying to get RTSP streams off IP cameras and had no luck at all.
For one, you are no longer allowed to put credentials in the URL, but this is buried in the log messages.
Once I figured that out I removed the credentials and was asked to log in. I did, but the stream did not start playing. Based on what I have read on my camera forum, VLC should Just Work, though it is possible that I have made a mistake.
This is level 2 log output from my try at playing a camera on my LAN.
