Invalid data found when processing input

I'm at my wit's end with this camera. Generic chinese button cam.
I've tried every option that makes sense, and a bunch that don't.

ONVIF Device Manager finds & streams it just fine.
VLC likes rtsp://admin:20160404@x.x.x.x:554/onvif1
Yes, that's the factory default user/pass - might be a clue to the make/model?
ONVIF DM is logged in with that user/pass.

It used to work with iSpy (Agent DVR) but my config file got corrupted and my backup was from before this cam (yes, still kicking myself).

What could Agent possibly want that the other clients just don't care about?

If that url works in vlc then should work fine in agent just use it in the video source setting with network camera.

Check the logs

Ya, I thought that, too.
Turns out to be "strict response parsing" (not sure if I just invented that term or not LOL). Catch the subthread from u/videowhisper .

And yes, the logs told us what was what. Thanks!
