Hash sign in a RTSP URI inside password breaks parser: Port missing in uri

[Martin]

Hi,

if one has a '#' sign in the password it cannot be passed via a cmdline to ffmpeg-4.4.4:

ffmpeg -i rtsp://someuser:pass_with_#_@192.168.0.1:554/live1s1.sdp -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_time 300 -segment_format mp4 camera1-%03d.mp4

We only support master. Is # still a problem in master?

Sorry, I am on Gentoo Linux and there is no newer build in the ~amd64 testing repo.

Please think of the issue as affecting lots of Ip cameras and router OSes and other distros which at the best may release an update of the older versions. Imagine how cryptic it is to debug such issues on vendor-locked IP camera.

Please test yourself how the parser works. How about a ':' in a password, btw?

You should percent encode # in the userinfo part of an URI, that should work.
