VLC uses this protocol (or access module) to read data from a device or network.

Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a protocol used by Macromedia Flash.

Compatibility

VLC supports RTMP and rtmp:// URLs as of version 1.1, through the avio module via the libavformat library. In past versions, use of rtmpdump was required in conjunction with VLC, but that is no longer needed after VLC 1.1.x.

Example

Find the swfurl of the RTMP stream (if required), and place it in the appropriate location below:

vlc rtmp://10.12.34.56/ --avio-options "{rtmp_swfurl=http://path/to/the.swf}"
