Compile latest version of ffplay from source
Note that this script doesn't overwrite the existing ffmpeg installation:https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos
The gotcha in the above guide is the SDL-devel package without which ffplay will not build.

Play Video With Low Latency Using ffplay
This is the fastest I can make ffplay:$ ffplay -threads 2 -flags low_delay -fflags nobuffer -rtbufsize 32768 -fast -probesize 800000 -analyzeduration 800000 -ss 1 -framerate 50 udp://224.0.1.6:2006
Play Video With ffmpeg
This also quite fast, just to show that you can play video directly with ffmpeg using SDL output:$ ffmpeg -i udp://224.0.1.6:2006 -f sdl -
Play Video With gstreamer
Just because it also pertains to playing video, here are a couple tricks with gstreamer:
$ gst-launch -v playbin uri=udp://224.0.1.6:2006
First try a video test pattern though:
$ gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink
If the test pattern doesn't work, then there is no point in continuing - you got to fix it.

La Voila!
