Describe the bug

After enabling rtsp authentication in go2rtc, Home Assistant camera entity cannot stream. A bunch of authentication errors occur in the log. I am not using Frigate add-on within Home Assistant. Frigate is running as a separate docker.

Contributor guide

Research direction: Investigate how the frigate hass integration handles authentication when connecting to go2rtc's RTSP stream with credentials. Check the stream component's handling of 401 responses and trace the authentication header passing.
