You might have to enable "Internet" permissions for your Android app.
Also try connecting to that RTSP stream with a GStreamer application.

Then check the GStreamer debug logs on the sender and receiver to check
where things go wrong.


Also from your description I assume you're using the old 0.10 version?
I'd recommend that you use 1.2.0 and gst-rtsp-server from latest git.
Use this cerbero repository for that:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/sdk/cerbero/

The 1.2 branch will allow you to build the latest stable 1.2 version.
