[Config Support]: Frigate Crashes when adding a stream rtsp url with a dash (-) in it.

[bobloadmire]

Describe the problem you are having

All RTSP streams work perfectly, unless the url has a dash, i.e. rtsp://192.168.0.4:8554/side-yard. This will cause frigate to stop loading correctly, requiring me to restore from backup since the web ui no longer loads. Adding streams without a dash work perfectly.

need to see logs, which can be retrieved using docker

[bobloadmire]

I'm on a Proxmox LXC using Debian 11

[bobloadmire]

oh you know what? I just renamed my camera to something like "Bob's Room" and I think the apostraphe might be breaking the config, is that possible? I was change the url - and the title at the same time, i didn't think it could be the room label breaking the config.

[NickM-27]

okay, then you can use proxmox to retrieve the logs

[bobloadmire]

Sorry about the goosechase. Turns out it was the apostrophe in camera name/title. change the camera's names from "Bob's Room" to "BobsRoom" fixed the problem, I now have all cameras up. I must have missed that limitation in the documentation.
