RTMPE Video Player (With Skip)

I have successfully created a Cocoa app using RtmpDump for a video stream. Currently, the application merely downloads the file to the user’s desktop and they must play it in VLC.

However, I wish to create a custom RTMPE player that will allow the user to skip forward and backward at will. I understand that XBMC has this functionality, but I was wondering if there was any open source library that I could use (and if so, any pointers on how to use them). Also, is there a client for librtmp that is written in order to download a stream starting at certain segments?

  • I was wondering if there was any open source library that I could use (and if so, any pointers on how to use them).

    Yes, you can use the LibRtmp library.

    FFplay already has support for RTMPE protocol.

    RtmpDump can already do this with the --start param.
