Freeze when adding Media Source with RTSP stream

[StashCat]

After adding a media source with an rtsp stream from my IP camera, OBS at first shows nothing, then after reloading the source OBS freezes and is unable to open again until I manually remove the source through the scene json. There is no crash log, only the regular log.
RTSP stream works perfectly with VLC source, however it adds too much delay for the stream to be usable.

I am experiencing the same issue, and had to resolve it the same way. Up-to-date version 26.1.2 on MacOS Big Sur (also up to date). The camera itself is not the issue, I can attach to it with VCL. Also, the source did initially work for about 1/2 hour yesterday, then went black. Other sources continued to work, but OBS stopped responding to the mouse and listed as unresponsive in the Activity Monitor. Attached are the configuration that fails, the configuration that works, and the logs from yesterday and today. The offending source is the "MiamiCam" entry.

These four issues reported in older versions seem related:

Question / Help - OBS Crashes when I open the program..

PLEASE HELP! OBS crashes everything I try to start it up! Many thanks!

In my case the stream definitely is still available from the camera. It could be related to the bug in v19, but I would hope that had been resolved long ago. I will attempt to try it with a different camera just in case, but I really think there is something in the configuration that causes it to loop infinitely when trying to use this camera. The reason it locks up on restart is because it is trying to use to the source, which is why it has to be removed manually.

This is still an issue in 28.0.0. The only way to use my IP camera through OBS is to use the GStreamer plugin currently.

Does your IP camera have audio/choice for audio format?
The cheap cameras I have work in VLC fine but will crash OBS (v27 not tried v28 yet) if audio is enabled and its set to AAC on the camera, But work fine with audio disabled or if the format is set to G711A

The camera itself has no microphone, but it streams PCM ALAW audio @ 8000Hz 8bit (from what I understand, basically G711A). Unfortunately, I cannot turn off the audio stream.
