Describe the issue

I have a couple of no-name ip cameras that require basic auth, without a password. IE, the paths: would look something like:

front_room_large:
source: rtsp://admin:@10.200.12.53:8001

regrettably, rtsp-simple-server refuses to start saying only:

rtspproxy | ERR: username and password must be both provided

The issue appears to be here

vlc and ffplay (among other rtsp ingesters) appear to accept this URL format.

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. configure a paths: entry url with a username, but no password
2. start the server

This failure occurs before network is initiated.
no

Would the cameras refuse authentication with a dummy password? If not, this would be an easy workaround.

[eljefe80]

Yes, using anything but an empty password results in a 401 unauthorized from the camera and I cannot change the password through the interface.

Thanks for reporting the issue, sources with empty passwords are now supported in main and will be added to the next release.

added to v0.16.2
