This module provides the following features for the RTMP protocol:

• Streaming input - RTMP client
• Streaming output and ingest in rtmp format - RTMP server
• Streaming output and ingest in flv format - FLV server

RTMP Client

You can get a stream from an RTMP server, for example Nginx with nginx-rtmp-module.

Server Configuration

By default, the RTMP server is disabled.
