[Libav-user] How to send RTMP / AMF data with libavformat

Basically I now need to have the RTMP connection process configure the receiving server for appending video (by default, a new video is created). Per the RTMP spec, this is accomplished by adding AMF data to the body of the RTMP connection request.

I would assume this can be done, as I'm pretty sure based on the FFmpeg documentation that this can be done with the command line binary.

Maybe give us an idea how does it work for you with command line.
Reviewing rtmp, librtmp protocols descriptions, i don't see such
option documented.
If there is such option, then use it through AVDictionary parameter to
avio_open2(). If not, then patch the protocol driver you use do add
that option, and use through AVDictionary parameter, and, optionally,
post the patch in ffmpeg-devel if your feature is something documented
and/or conventional for RTMP protocol.
