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.
