Video Stream In Failed to open file

I’m attempting to stream from a camera into TouchDesigner using RTSP. If I point VLC at my stream it loads fine, but if I try the same address in the Video Stream In node it connects but fails to load the stream.

Attached is the warning, “Failed to open file.”

I was able to get the node to work with another test stream at rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov.

I guess my question is does my stream need to be a .mov or .mp4 or somesuch in order to work in TouchDesigner? Currently, the camera feed just streams out to my local media server at rtmp://10.0.0.20:1936/live/test (10.0.0.20 being my machine’s IP) and I pick it up from localhost.
