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.
