The flash (RTMP) on-demand modes

... Apparently, the maintainer has had a change of heart;
FLASH modes have been rescheduled to be terminated
in the next release, 2.97, too, along with the rest of the
deprecated options...
A real shame, if you ask me, since the flashmodes
are the only ones that support resuming (via rtmpdump)
in the case of time-outs, due to fickle/flakey connections...
We'll be left with DASH/HLS (radio) or HLS (video)
segmented modes only, which abort and re-fetch from the start
when the connection, for whatever random reason, drops out...
OTOH, the RTMP support code, the backbone of GiP
up until a few versions back (2.94 and earlier), constitutes
a major part of the existing code and I kind of understand
the logic behind the coder's intent to do away with it;
what I fail to justify is the haste to get rid of it
while it's still working very reliably...
Dum spiro, spero...
