Bug Report OBS 0.64b custom RTMP does not work anymore

Hi,

I have my own RTMP server that I usually stream to, but on OBS 0.64b trying to do so is now broken.

In my profile...
My FMS URL link is this: rtmp://localhost/cvaxdvr
My stream key is: mp4:cvax.mp4

0.64b = fails
0.638b = streaming works great
0.633b = streaming works great

The error that comes up is as follows:
"Could not connect to server
localhost/cvaxdvr is offline. Try a different server (10061)."

The server is fine since older versions of OBS can connect and stream to it just fine. Not sure why 0.64b cannot. Please let me know if there is any additional information you would like me to provide. Thanks.

Perhaps some type of security program is configured to recognize the old executables but not the new one. Also if you specify your loopback address as 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost does it work?

I don't believe it is any security program because I was actually on 0.633b when it was working. Decided to update to 0.64b and saw it didn't work. So then I went ahead and downloaded 0.638b to try and find when exactly it broke. 0.638b worked so I concluded it has something to do with 0.64b. I even downloaded 0.64b cleanly and disabled firewall/av to try.

Nice guess at what is going on though. Interestingly enough... on 0.64b using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost does work.

Your RTMP server most likely isn't listening on IPv6 localhost (::1) and OBS 0.64b has IPv6 support.
