Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a VideoDisplay component
2. Set the source property to a RTMP path in this format rtmp://myserver/appname/streamfolder/streamname

Actual Results:
By default the source initiates the autoplay. When NCManager creates the stream it initially parses the source string in the following manner:
protocol: "rtmp:/"
serverName: "myserver"
appName: "appname/streamfolder"
streamName: "streamname"

THIS IS INCORRECT. The stream name is actually "streamfolder/streamname"

Expected Results:
This case is covered in the connectAgain() method where is swaps out the appended portion of the appName. The issue is that anytime a folder structure is used on FMS (a common case) there will always be a failed connection before the successful one from connectAgain(). This is a performance hit.

Workaround (if any):
Commenting out lines 691 to 704 of NCManager's parseURL method makes the alternate case the default. It is also feasible to set a flag in NCManager to specify which format should be used.
