Adding analog cameras from HIK DVR? RTSP is working in VLC, but I cannot add camera to Blue Iris?

Greetings!

I'm using the following format to open camera feeds in VLC: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.50.112:554/Streaming/Channels/101

This works perfectly. However, I'm unable to get Blue Iris to pull in the stream? I've tried several combinations of custom RTSP address formats, as well as all the suggested presets for HIKVision

I'm using a DS-7332HQHI

Any suggestions?

Is encryption disabled?
Does the trailing slash ( / ) matter?

Thanks for the comment. Where might I find the encryption setting? I'm not seeing that in the web portal for the DVR? And is there a reason why VLC could work with that but not Blue Iris?

The / doesn't matter, still can't see it.

Should be: Configuration -> Network -> Access Platform -> Enable Stream Encryption

I don't have HIK Connect enabled, but there is an encryption key listed: A123456. So not something that I ever set. Does this mean it is enabled? I'm not getting an encryption warning from VLC or from the DVR Live View page?
