Having trouble getting started

[rh0dium]

Describe the bug

I have a functioning stream. I've verified that I can connect to it via IPCams. It works. I cannot get Homebridge-camera-ui to recognize it.

I keep getting the same Error

Front Porch: FFmpeg videoanalysis process exited with error! (null) - rtsp://sklass%40foo.com:ZLZJC4%[email protected]:8554/10070891: Protocol not found Did you mean file:rtsp://sklass%40foocom:ZLZJC4%[email protected]:8554/10070891? 

Challenges:

My username has an "@" symbol in it. [email protected]
My password ends withy a "=" ZLZJC4=

I suspected this was the issue. I've tried the following

• double quoting the username and paswords
• double quoting the entire thing
• replace @ with %40 and = with %3D
• single quoting completely broke it.

I then suspected maybe my synlology needed ffmpeg so I installed ffmpeg5 with the same results.

I completely understand you are working on a new version. But could you help another dev out?
