RTMP streaming client library support in XBMC
#1
Lightbulb 
I think rtmp support would make xbmc a more round media player. With the fast progression of more online sources we turn to using this format to stream video, it seems xbmc is falling behind.

Some sites that use this format to stream video:
hulu.com
bbc player

I'm sure there are many more....


If you think rtmp support is a good feature to add for xbmc, then reply! Smile
If you are a developer and need some help or something to be done to help speed the addition of this feature, then ask!
I am willing to help.

Well, now that all Southpark episodes are available via the RTMP streams, it would be so cool to have them supported in XBMC.

As soon as they are, I will add a Southpark channel to XOT (XBMC Online TV).

Yes... RTMP support would definitely rock. TED.com also uses it for all their videos!

Would have saved me some time with the code/hack for a TED.com bookmarklet: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=1...post176584

The Gnash Project include "libamf" which is an RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) client library.

However, best would probably be for you guys to first lobby someone like the Libnemesi and/or cURL to add support to it first, (then we can add/update Libnemesi or libcurl in XBMC)

Question 
I've been searching alot on this through various xbmc forums, and this doesn't seem to be possible yet.

I'd love to stream rtmp video on xbmc (which seems to be everywhere on the internet) Anyone hear any updates or info on this?

I'm trying to setup a playlist primarily from hulu which is ALL rtmp format

All,

Sorry if I am breaching the protocol for posting on this group. I wanted to
know if anyone here is working on adding RTMP as a transport (to the
URLContext) so that RTMP streams can be saved/transcoded. If not, would it
be ok if I start this?

Thanks,
Abhinav

i think the gnash project has rtmp support.
also one of the gnash devels has a patch for curl for rtmp
support

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/tracker-2008-03/0012.html
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnash...iew=markup

it would be nice to have rtmp in ffmpeg as well.

Lets hope something happens from this.

I see more and more webpages changing to RTMP. So I was wondering if there is any progress on RTMP support in XBMC?

I used to watch some online TV episodes (BBC (UK) and NOS (Dutch/NL)) but both are going to switch (or already have switched) to RTMP streams.

Is there an update on RTMP support.

our good friends over at boxee.tv has implemented this. all that needs to be done is grabbing it from their source

Is that a hard job? Or could I do that myself and test some thing by compiling XBMC myself?
