RTSP: TCP streaming output

Cannot play RTSP stream of any type on Linux Client (SUSE is what I tried). Here is what I get when I try to watch a VOD stream on my linux client (note that I tried multiple media types. the only difference in error is the SETUP video/ fand SETUP audio/ based on the file format):

Note 1: This works if the VLC client is on Windows, so it apears to be a Linux bug.

Note 2: Tried server on Windows and Linux. Does not seem to make a difference
