Okay, this is a difference. Just to noted, on 0.12 we need to put pass with special characters in clear text. - path: 'rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/ch0_1.264'

Thanks for your support @NickM-27

in 0.11 you had to block out the special characters. However, in 0.12 that is handled for you. So you should just enter the special characters in the config as they actually are in the password
