No, you're not going nuts. The IPCT forum will not allow you to post two "/" consecutively after "RTSP:", even with "Insert </> Code". You can type it all day but when it's posted and you look at it, one is gone. I've been on this forum over 10 years and that's just the way it is, it's a quirk that apparently is not fixable.

As long as you put 2 in the URL you're trying in VLC, Blue Iris, etc. and have all the other syntax correct, your'e OK.
 
In order to enter the syntax exactly as you put it in so that we can see it correctly and not get stupid stuff like :password LOL, use the code option under the 3 dots.

Then you can put it in and we can see if it is correct:

Code: 
:password :password :password

There is a Dahua integration via HACS available for Home Assistant.
It should work with your OEM Dahua NVR.

Ok I installed it and in the Logbook of the Dahua device in HA it is detecting when motion passes by the camera but I havent been able to get video. So Im definitely connected to the NVR in HA but just need to figure out the video
 
Unless I missed it, what codec/compression are you using?

If you are using H265, try H264. Some programs struggle with H265.

When I click Main or sub I get this blank picture.
When Setting up it asks for a Channel it says "Channel (single cameras are 0, NVRs are the 0 based index)*, what does this mean? I have an NVR does that mean I set this up as 0?
