In the past Belarus 5 also used HLS streaming method, I wonder why did they switch to rtmp.

In the past when Adobe flash was spreaded i was hunting for rtmp streams, it used to be my hobby how to dump rtmp. I used to spend more time to dump rtmp than to watch channels. As rtmp was fading away, my interest declined before i discovered livestreamer which provided pipe to vlc and i started to go after m3u8. I managed to find pycrypto for windows and chrippa included decoding support. Honestly I don’t watch much TV only sports sometimes football mostly. French and Swiss plugins are very valuable to me. But i thought that it could interest somebody that’s why i filled up form for those plugins. 😃 I am grateful to developers for plugins and enhancements. I don’t have skills for developping that’s why I try to contribute differently. When i have spare time i make different tests.

I suppose… PR en route.
