I've just checked wiki, looks like the right extension at the end should be f4v. 
BTW, the difference between rtmp stream and HLS stream is audio codec. Rtmp stream has speex, HLS has aac. |
All you have written is true. Why do I prefer FLV? The answer for me is simple.
Let's be the real most streams are recorded with the rtmpdump that shoots mostly in FLV format.
Sometimes there was no good support for the processing of FLV files but today the situation is excellent.
So if I need to make some of my own ranking list then it is first FLV, on the second place is MP4, and the third is TS format.
In addition, for example, the TS file recorded by CamgirlzREC can not be edited immediately while the FLV file does not have these problems.
FFMPEG can record the same source in various formats depending on the code we specify in the line.
I prefer this line:
ffmpeg -i (url) -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 160k (path + filename)
... but if you don't like FLV and need some other format you can exchange that line in main.js
This is impossible to do for example for CamgirlzREC because the author of the program doesn't want to show his source code.
