chap, you are genius :)
it works !!!
If you have few minutes could you pls explain to us what these magical parameters mean and how did you figure them out? Did you use rtmpsrv ? Is there a manual that can teach me ?
I hope that once I get the handle of it, next time I wouldn't waste your time but would figure it out myself.
thanks a lot !

Hi chap,
Hope you are doing well despite turbulence in your country.
Sorry for bugging you again but something in that stream (http://novatv.bg/live) changed and I can't figure out the rigbht rtmp parameters (can't make rtmpsuck work).

Help appreciated.
