I am using a poe Reolink camera attempting to view in OBS. I have tried over and over again to connect to OBS. The url designed for the camera works perfectly fine in VLC & I can see the live feed in real time & also in the Reolink Client app & on pc. But when I use that same url in OBS, nothing shows up in the monitor screen. It is just a black screen with a red square in the upper left corner. But the red square does not allow you to drag it down to adjust size. I can screen capture & play saved files and all on OBS, but my goal is to stream live from my camera to YouTube via OBS. I just cannot for the life of me get this camera to show up in OBS in real time with live feed. I have seen this issue in many questions throughout this forum & other places online but other than using the dedicated url (which doesn't fix my problem), I have not seen any other solutions. I have adjusted the settings in the Client app to enable RTSP & all the other options also as directed on the Reolink site but that has not resolved the issue. As I said, I can see the camera fine on VLC but not on OBS. & I don't see an option to stream live from VLC to OBS, just saved files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
VLC shows video using url but does not show up (only black screen) in OBS
