errors adding h.264 camera using rtsp and vlclib

[paynor]

Trying on a fresh 1.36 installation on Ubuntu to add the first (h.264) camera.
On the same Ubuntu machine, VLC can see the cameras RTSP stream, no issues.
Tried with no success to access camera in ZM, with RTSP. Monitor remains red in console . Log shows:

Before that tried using libvlc and the path that works in VLC. Then the log showed:

Use the ffmpeg source type.

Also don't forget to % escape special characters in the password.

Use the ffmpeg source type.

That worked, thanks.
Using exactly the same path as the path that works in VLC.
