'''Real Time Messaging Protocol''' ('''RTMP''') is a [[protocol]] used by [[wikipedia:Macromedia Flash|Macromedia Flash]]. 

{{clear}}
==Compatibility==
VLC supports RTMP and rtmp:// URLs as of version 1.1, through the [[Documentation:Modules/avio|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.

==URL format==
The basic URL format is:
rtmp://tcurl/app/playpath

==Options==
Some options can be used in command line :

{| class="wikitable"
! Option !! Description
|-
| rtmp_pageurl ||  
|-
| rtmp_swfurl ||  
|-
| rtmp_swfvfy ||  
|-
| rtmp_live ||  
|-
| rtmp_playpath || Playpath
|-
| rtmp_app  || Application
|-
| rtmp_tcurl || ip[:port]
|-
|}

==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}"
