RTMP is a big mess. And it all depends on a lot of variables. I have some ideas, but they will require support outside the script itself. I think the information that should be extracted to get to the RTMP stream is mostly XML. I haven't read about RTMP much, just read log files form tcpdump. The script probably can extract all the information and make the link. But it is all up to the video plugin. I think most of the free software video players do not have RTMP support or it is in a very early stage of development. I think there should be support for remote XMLHttpRequest calls in all the browsers that do not use the Greasemonkey extension, but have their own implementation. Until there is no support for GM_xmlhttpRequest at least in Epiphany (the browser I use) I will not use this function. I am trying to avoid browser specific code and browser dependant functionality. Remote XMLHttpRequest calls will be required because of the same origin policy. If migration to browser extensions is done these calls are no longer an issue. But the problem with video plugins and RTMP support remains. A solution might be a browser plugin that can handle RTMP streams and pipe the downloaded video stream to a video plugin. These are just ideas and no experiments and reading have been done so far. I do not know will it be technically possible and when. RTMP support is a huge question mark, but it will be amazing if it can happen.
