Describe the issue

When trying to publish a stream from OBS Studio 26.1.1 to the path stream I get an error:

ERR: invalid path name: can't begin with a slash (/stream)

I managed to get around the error by disabling the check and reading from /stream instead.

It seems that OBS Studio prepends an unexpected slash in my setup.

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. Configure OBS Studio 26.1.1 to publish as follows

2. Press the "Start Streaming" button
3. rtsp-simple-server outputs an error

Hello, just configure OBS Studio in this way:

Server: rtmp://localhost/stream
Stream Key: (none)

Hello. Excuse me for hijacking.
I got the same error when I was trying to understand how to setup authentication (OBS with RTMP). Is it possible?

Instructions on how to publish from OBS studio, with or without authentication, have been added to the readme
