Doesn't the above give you a hint? The frame size is so big when using 
1080p that live555 runs out of internal buffer sizes. In other words 
find the place were this limit is exposed and track it down to what 
defines it. Then enlarge the maximum framesize to the size that is 
needed to allow 1080p sized frames.

every incoming frame is dropped and thus no video will be displayed.
