Here is one interesting link:
https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/1111
Some on streamlink forum are like ostrich burying their heads in the sand unwilling to recognize existence and importance of rtmp protocol.
XP is dead, and they are still working on it.
They are working on XP because there are always those few..
Well, dear streamlink fellows, there will be those few.. using rtmp rotocol lasting far longer than users using XP.
Numbers on this forum speak.
"rtmpdump" and "adult streaming videos" forums = rtmp protocol.
Take it away, and stream-recorder forum is 50% smaller.
ImLive was booted from their rtmp host and now they are on a new rtmp host and running 2 rtmp streams in parallel in addition to 1 hls stream per model.
On Russian TV ( RT ), they use hls protocol like any other news website but guess what:
When Puting speaks there is one extra rtmp stream in real-life time running parallel with hls:
rtmp://fml.3443.edgecastcdn.net/203443/en-stream
Rtmp is back on Press TV, congratulations.
rtmp://178.32.255.199:1935/live/ptven
Each and every cam site runs on rtmp protocol probably because it is best suited for cam-to-cam.
I cannot update rtmpdump, but at least I can see it's importance using common sense.
Streamlink is fantastic project for other things and I keep this thread on top.
Cheers,
Johnny.
