[MPlayer-dev-eng] willing to pay for RTMP support

[Sander Plas]

Hi,

I'm from Seeas, the company behind Moodio (www.moodio.fm), a free 
service that transcodes online radio streams to a format that can be 
played back on most cell phones. We use MPlayer to decode source streams 
(shoutcast, windows media, real, etc.) to PCM.

We currently see that a lot of radio stations are switching to RTMP 
streaming. Unfortunately, MPlayer does not support RTMP at all at this 
moment. I have seen a few open source implementations of RTMP (ffmpeg, 
vlc, flvstreamer, xbmc) but none of them seems to work reliably on live 
audio streams. Since Adobe published the RTMP specs, we think it should 
be possible to write a fully working implementation.

We are looking for a developer that can add RTMP support to MPlayer in 
such a way that at least RTMP radio stations can be played back without 
problems. Our goal is to get this added to the main MPlayer project, not 
to create some kind of 'fork' for ourselves.

We will pay for the development. If you are interested, please contact 
me via e-mail.

thanks

Sander / Moodio / Seeas
