PTZ Camera with Gstreamer can't get video

We are using OBS with a clone of the PTZOptics 30X-SDI. It isn't from PTZOptics, however it is 100% identical and apparently made in the same factory. We are using this on a Windows 10 computer with a NVIDIA Quadro K2200 4GB Graphics Card.

Installed Gstreamer OBS Plugin and executable. Added the Path variable to the Gstreamer executable bin folder. We cannot get any video from the camera using this string in Gstreamer:

rtspsrc location="rtsp://[user:password]@192.168.88.88" latency=0 buffer-mode=auto ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! d3d11h264dec ! video.

We've tried various iterations of this URL such as 192.168.88.88:554/1 without any success.

We had this working with the same kit very recently, however trying to reinstall this setup after a hard drive crash, I'm just not sure what we are doing wrong with this string. The URL of our camera is definitely 192.168.88.88 and the port is 554, stream #1. I remember struggling with this previously, there's some little typo in the string I've using, or perhaps something else I have forgotten to set up.
Using a media source works, using a URL rtsp://192.168.88.88/1, however media source introduces unacceptable lag. Gstreamer has worked for us previously but I remember it being quite picky about the URL. Right now I can use the OBS Plugin for PTZOptics Cameras to control the position of the camera, so I know we do have a good data communication path to the cam.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

I was able to get things to work with this string:




rtspsrc location="rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.88.88:554/1" latency=0 buffer-mode=auto ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! d3d11h264dec ! video.

It doesn't seem to be any different than some of the things I typed in but it did work.
