Nothing unless we're specifically requested to remove it.

Don't forget rtmpdump is (or was, at least) distributed with scripts that download hulu and iplayer content. That is most likely the real issue, not the fact that rtmpdump uses a proprietary protocol. Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search and search the forum before posting. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please read how to submit a proper bug report. If you're interested in writing addons for xbmc, read docs and how-to for plugins and scripts ||| http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/ |

The "e" on the end refers to encrypted. A very weak form of encryption apparently - player sha256 hash and uncompressed filesize being used for auth. |
