youtube-dl rtmp problem - Audio/video stream recording forums

enigma2 youtube-dl binary

with my plugin
i am trying to pipe rtmp links via youtube-dl to media player

in my plugin.py

http works with this command

rtmp not working

Code:

self.urtmp = 'youtube-dl -o - -f best ' + self.url + " -o '" + local_file + "'"

youtube-dl passes --verbose to rtmpdump and that is what is stopping
rtmp links piping to media player

like

rtmpdump --verbose -r rtmp-url

if i use just rtmpdump on its own and not youtube-dl

command is

rtmpdump -r rtmp-url

now rtmp works

how can i stop youtube-dl passing the txt --verbose
to rtmpdump

with different youtube-dl command
download to /hdd both rtmp and http work
but thats not the problem

thanks
