 From my understanding, Myth only supports udp and RTP, not RTSP. It 
looks through your VLC options that you are streaming RTP and not RTSP, 
but you have the stream defined in the SDP as RTSP (Which is probably 
causing the breakage). If you change the line to read:

:sout=#rtp{dst=239.255.12.12, port=1234, sdp=rtp://:5544/mov}

Then you'll have RTP. If you change your M3U to also say rtp: rather 
than rtsp:, everything should be working fine.
