 [rtsp @ 041030e0] Unable to open RTSP for listening
 rtsp://vpn.sincerasolutions.com:554/live.sdp: Unknown error

 if I remove the timeout option , it will playback correctly.

 but by default ffmpeg will hangup when the server down if without timeout
 option.

 for example executing following command to playback non-exists url will
 hangup the ffplay client.
