I
can't find formal standards for RTMP and FLV, did I miss them
somewhere? Tried RFC/IETF and ISO, neither have anything.
We have covered this before (multiple times I think).
RTMP is a proprietary protocol. It was reverse-engineered in late 2006 (I think). Adobe
have not released a specification.
FLV can be either a proprietary format (which has been documented, more info:
http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/fileformat/faq/) or a wrapper around H.264+HE-AAC.
Also would it be possible to get the stream in a sensible format?
If you ever want iPlayer on a mobile use a viable format. For
reference Android (Google's Mobile Platform) supports MPEG4 and H.264.
How about a stream in one of those formats?
Again, I think it's been mentioned before about "suitable streaming servers". Can you
suggest one?
