Lots of issues with RTMP sources on Windows 11

I run my own nginx server for folks to stream to which I then pull into my OBS and then stream to my twitch. Things worked great for me for quite a while and then they did not. I have since figured out that probably my update to Windows 11 is the cause (I wasn't streaming regularly around the time I upgraded so I didn't notice in relation to the upgrade).

I see the following on Windows 11 with the latest OBS
- with a VLC source, often the source will wash out with pixelation and gray with nothing in the log at all

Above is a VLC source on the top left and a media source on the bottom right
- often the sound will cut out for seconds at a time with a VLC source with nothing in the log at all
- with a media source, often it cannot start the video and just shows nothing. sometimes there will be something like this in the logs

15:56:17.557: User switched to scene 'DJ 1'
15:56:17.577: [Media Source 'Media Source']: Reconnected.
15:56:18.768: warning: Invalid timestamps stream=1, pts=984942, dts=984983, size=592
15:56:18.793: MP: av_read_frame failed: I/O error (-5)

or

- with a media source, with use hardware decoding if available, it often doesn't work at all either with no errors in the log at all

If I run OBS in WSL, I do not see the same issues (though then I can't use hardware encoding on the output).

If I run streamlabs desktop, it is quite a bit more stable and rarely if ever washes out with gray.

I do not see the issue on Windows 10. I've seen this on Windows 11 with an Nvidia 750ti and 1650, Asrock Intel Arc A750 and now an AMD Radeon RX 6600 (all on the same PC).
