I wrote something similar which stores such links in a mysql database.
you can try from http://adland123.tripod.com

Just a note RTSP protocol support is provided by the external
 live.com package.
you should download,build,install this first.

then when building mplayer do ./configure --enable-live

it is disabled by default.
could explain why it failed for you.
I tested it to play on my system.

It may not be advertised but it is still available..

Yes but this only works however if the remote server provides rtsp support
 for the stream. fortunately for you this is very common.
