Hello,

Can you explain your question more in detail?
Where would you need the special characters to be displayed?

Kind regards,

Hello Sasa,

We monitor FFmpeg and make a JSON format as the output but the value always shows minus (-) for example -9.0. It's 2 special characters there (-) and (.)

is cant handled by the sensor or might I've missed something in config

Thank you for the details. In the JSON output that you provide for the sensor, you most likely need to configure that it is a float value. So you would need a line like:

<float>1</float> or "float": "1",

You can find a example for this here.
