Question / Help Trying to use network camera as a VLC Video Source

The camera is setup correctly on the network and I can view the rtsp stream clearly from my desktop through VLC media player as a network stream.

However when I try to use the same rtsp stream as a VLC Video Source in OBS all I see in the preview window is an unchanging pixelated grey image.

I know I must be missing something simple. Please help me out.

Here's my log file

How can an rtsp feed be used in Media Source?

Edit: Figured it out. Just needed to restart OBS
Thanks for the suggestion.
