=RTMP Flash Streaming=

==Abstract==
(Draft)
VLC is a wonderful media player and streaming server. Adobe is about to publish the RTMP protocol spec in the first half of this year, so I think it's about time to add and improve flash streaming function in VLC.

==Detail==
(TODO)

==timeline==
'''Before May 23:'''
# Read more RTMP protocal documents.


'''May 23 - July 5:'''
* RTMP input works half of the time.
** Fix bug and improve AMF/RTMP message decoder and encoder (I already found it will segment fault in function rtmp_handler_invoke() of modules/access/rtmp/rtmp_amf_flv.c). The source code of gnash project can be referenced to.
* VLC can stream FLV over HTTP.
** FLV Encapsulation over HTTP is not work.
** MPEG-TS Encapsulation over HTTP with FLV file, the Video can not straming (Audio Only)


'''July 6 - July 13:'''
* Mid-term evaluations, Review the function I had implement, and fix the bug which had found.


'''July 14 - August 9:'''
* Possibly rewrite from scratch RTMP output (never worked).
** Totally rewrite the RTMP access output module workflow (Reference to the existed HTTP access output module implement), make the RTMP access output module can listen and handle concurrent requests.
** Make RTMP access output module successfully handshake with flashplayer.
** After flashplayer can successfully handshake and invoke connect -> createStream -> play  with our RTMP access output module, make sure sending the right packeted flv video to flashplayer (Base on the existed soure code and this doc: http://osflash.org/flv)
** Pause/Seek/Resume support


'''August 10 - August 25:'''
*code review and testing. Fix bugs if necessary.


'''September 3 - September 9:'''
*Submitting required code samples to Google
