Hi George, the process is like that: First (try 0) rtmp try1 rtmpt try2 rtmpt try3 rtmpt
So first it will try rtmp and then 3 times rtmpt. Things are different if you configure rtmps. Currently RTMPT does not work at all with altest builds as there is an issue with the underlaying Red5 server and RTMPT. Changing RTMPT to port 443 (if RTMPT is working again) should be best for Firewall issues. Packets on port 443 are normally not blocked by firewalls as 443 is normally HTTPS.
