RTSP Stream show blank screen in OBS 27.2.4

[IWB]

I have been trying to get a rtsp stream from a new camera working - the rtsp URL rtsp://192.168.1.163:554/live/av0 works in VLC but when I add in OBS as a Media Source it shows up as a red square in the top left and then when I try to resize it disappears. I have seen a number of threads similar to this and have tried to downgrade to an earlier version of OBS but still not working. I am reluctant to upgrade to the latest version because when I tried this previously other plugins (ASIO Input capture) stopped working.

When you update obs, you still need to update your plugins manually.

With the source selected in the sources list, press ctrl+r then ctrl+f

Additionally, try using the VLC media source (you should have it if you installed 64-bit vlc0

Thanks - I tried using a VLC media source but get the same issue - the Red Square appears in the Preview screen and disappears when you try to resize. I will probably have to bite the bullet and update OBS version - and try and resolve the other plugins.

Add a media source, unceck local file, put the RTSP address into input, and add the following to FFMpeg options: rtsp_transport=tcp rtsp_flags=prefer_tcp
We have had a few brands of cameras that need these settings in OBS. See if that works.
