It might be better to use the local video module and provide it your
streaming URL. The ActiveX you are using is probably be blocked as unsafe
on the version of IE your client is using (and indeed the other browsers).

VLC should be able to create a RTSP stream, which the local video module
can play.

Sorry, we don't have any tutorials on that at the moment.

Basically you need to enable the module (Administration, Modules, Edit, Enable) and then assign it to your Layout (Edit Timeline, Add Local Video) and provide it with a URL.
