Opening Network Stream auto completion not case sensitive

[tirolock]

I'm trying to open a RTSP stream with VLC, but I can't open it because I typed the link once with a typo....

I Typed my RTSP link:
"rtsp://username:password123@192.168.10.11/videomain"
but I meant to type:
"rtsp://username:password123@192.168.10.11/videoMain"

Now, I can't type "videoMain" without the autocompletion of the search field changing it to "videomain"...

I can't access my stream because of it.

I'm on a VM running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Before you ask, I did made a new vm to test if I had access to my rtsp stream and I typed the good link (videoMain) and I can view my stream.

I also tried clearing the cache of vlc using the method provided at this link https://wiki.videolan.org/VSG:ResetPrefs/ :
"execute vlc --reset-config in a terminal"

hi you can clear your history with:

media > recent media > clear

Yes! Thanks haha

I can now enter the good path without auto completion.

But still... It's kinda strange that the auto completion changes back my 'M' for a lower case one('m') even when I try to type a capital one and then press play...

Is it possible to open a ticket to look at this issue? I would like to look into it.

Anyways, thanks for the quick help!

Oh, it worked for one of my machine, but not the other... even after I clear my history and reboot my machine, I still can't get over this issue... ):

The one it worked for was a machine which already had the good link (with an 'M') before... Is there any hidden cache I'm not seeing?

Basically, the RTSP URL is case sensitive and the auto completion of VLC isn't. (Sorry for the spam) (:

File a bug then.

How?

Same issues here. There are a number of related issues (some perhaps Windows specific) which can cause some real frustrations!

1. URL protocol field is case sensitive so RTP:// wont work, it needs to be rtp://
2. The auto complete seems to prefer the capitalised historical entry
3. Selecting clear Recent Media doesn't clear the network URLS. You need to clear it from the vlc-qt-interface.ini file.

Did you create a bug ticket?
