Expected Behavior

Users would anticipate successful server connection and streaming initiation without encountering any errors when leaving the protocol field blank during server configuration.

Current Behavior

When attempting to begin a livestream after configuring server settings with an address lacking a protocol entry (e.g., 192.168.182.1:11451), the software seemingly fails to establish a connection. Instead, an immediate error message pops up, indicating "Invalid path or URL. Please review your settings to ensure their validity."

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the OBS application.
2. Navigate to "File" > "Settings" > "Livestream."
3. Enter an address in the server field without specifying a protocol (e.g., 192.168.182.1:11451).
4. Save the settings.
5. Attempt to initiate a livestream by clicking "Start Streaming."
6. Instead of attempting a connection, the software instantaneously displays the error message: "Invalid path or URL. Please review your settings to ensure their validity."

Anything else we should know?

I am using the Chinese version of OBS, so the names of operations and prompts are translated and may not align precisely with those in the English version of OBS.

Start in OBS Studio at File > Settings > Livestream and reproduce the issue with 192.168.182.1:11451, using the linked OBS log for context. Trace the server URL validation and connection-start path; done means the behavior for an address without a protocol is intentional and clearly reported, or the connection proceeds as specified.
