VLC fails on Ubuntu 22.04

Suddenly, VLC is playing up.

On my desktop, which is my main PC, this morning it would not even
launch. Research told me that this was not an unknown phenomenon.
I followed a procedure to upgrade the font cache (?), and now at least
I can launch VLC as before. But the most important thing that I do with
it is to watch a CCTV feed, which requires that I use Network Stream to
connect to its DVR. But it now fails to connect, it just says: "Your
input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL
'rtsp://192.168.1.195:554/ch04/0'. Check the log for details." 
If by 'the log' it means the VLC messages, there are none.

I have a laptop which runs as much as possible as a backup for the
desktop, it has no problem with VLC today, and still links
successfully to the DVR using the identical URL.

I have tried removing and re-installing VLC, but I still cannot get this
to work. VLC plays videos, but will not connect to the DVR any more.
Was there a bad update to VLC in the last day or two?

Any useful help most welcome.
