VLC works locally on PC with RTSP but fails on remote

I have OBS broadcasting an RTSP stream that I can locally connect to with VLC on the same machine.

When I try to connect via a remote PC on the same network, it won't work and I get the following output in VLC messages. I am using the same URL on both machines.

Any clues as to what the issue may be?

on which port are you streaming? is it publicly exposed on you network? this rather looks like a server/network issue to me

Error 10057 is a well known live555 bug. Are you sure you're using the latest VLC release?

The port is visible on the network.

I could get an older version of VLC to work today on another PC and when I upgraded that to the latest it failed to connect so I suspect this is a VLC issue with the latest version.
