RTSP not working?

I've been trying to get RTSP working but it seems to freeze after one or two seconds. Currently running Max 8.2 with viddll selected as the video engine. Simple test patch attached.

seems to work fine over here. possibly a network issue?

I've tried it on different networks as well as different versions of Max across PCs and Intel Macs. It always seems to freeze after a second or two. RTSP streaming works fine in VLC and OBS, though, so that makes me thing that there is something going on in Max.

Patch works here too (Win 10).

if jit.movie isn't working for you than I would recommend using OBS and sending to Max via NDI or Spout. On Mac the workflow I would use is OBS-NDI output -> NDISyphon -> jit.gl.syphonclient

On windows you can simply use Spout out of OBS.
