Can't open RTSP stream with Basic Auth from CLI

[nwallace]

Description: Cannot open RTSP stream from CLI that requires username and password

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run $ celluloid 'rtsp://username:password@host'

Expected Results: Video stream opens in the app.

Additional Information: Here's the output from a real run with MPV logging ($ celluloid 'rtsp://admin:[email protected]' --mpv-msg-level=all=v):

This shows the reason for the error: the authentication failed ("401 Unauthorized"). It looks like auth fails because the password isn't getting sent to MPV -- it says "[ffmpeg] Opening rtsp://[email protected]/", where I would expect it to say "[ffmpeg] Opening rtsp://admin:[email protected]/".

When I run the same command with mpv directly ($ mpv 'rtsp://admin:[email protected]' --msg-level=all=v), the output includes "[ffmpeg] Opening rtsp://admin:[email protected]"

I'm guessing Celluloid is parsing the given file URL, then reconstructing it when it passes it off to MPV, and just forgot to include the password?

Update: Didn't think to try this before, but turns out that opening the stream from the "Open Location..." dialog when the app is already running works as expected and correctly opens the stream with the same URI ("rtsp://admin:[email protected]")

Confirmed. The password got removed when the URL is converted to GFile and back.
