About:
Flvstreamer is a command-line tool for downloading and streaming media from RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) servers. It captures audio and video data from flash-based sources, making it useful for archiving or viewing content that relies on older streaming technologies. The tool is particularly valuable for accessing streams that are not easily downloadable through modern browsers.

Key Features:

Supports RTMP and RTMPT protocols
Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Capable of recording streams to local files
Lightweight and portable

Use Cases:

Downloading live streams from older flash-based video sites
Archiving video content for offline viewing
Debugging and analyzing RTMP streams

Alternatives:

ffmpeg – A much more comprehensive multimedia framework that also supports RTMP, but is significantly larger and more complex.
youtube-dl – Focuses on a wide array of modern video hosting sites and is not specialized for legacy RTMP/Flash streams.
