2. Fixed URL parsing for Hikvision NVR devices.

This release introduces ITVDesk 6.2 updates, including support for new audio encoders, improved Hikvision NVR/DVR support, and new RTSP features.
1. Implemented bidirectional audio streaming on macOS.
2. Implemented restreaming options for External IP Cameras, allowing direct streaming without transcoding to reduce CPU usage.

6. Improved RTSP bidirectional audio functionality.
7. Improved H.264 and H.265 RTP packet reception.
8. Improved IP Camera channel and profile handling.
