I'm building a video player in flash based on NetStream, and all I need to test it is a functioning RTMP url, but I cannot find a single one on the entire internet through google.
Is anyone aware of any valid sample rtmp streams and their URLs that I can use to test this thing?
JWPLayer has a demo page: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29395/rtmp-single-stream/
You can open the page, view the source and copy and paste the rtmp://
URL from there.
As a LibRtmp developer, I maintain a
list of sample RTMP URLs.
They are not official by any means, but I use them for testing.
Currently I use a Wowza sample page availabe at https://web.duke.edu/dms/flashtest/
For the ones who look at this question later and want a quick answer, attaching this url which I got from koenpeters's answer
rtmp://fms.12E5.edgecastcdn.net/0012E5/mp4:videos/8Juv1MVa-485.mp4
I do not know still are you need to answer. You can use curl for that purpose, just do this.
curl --output /dev/null --silent --head --fail your_rtmp_link
above command is working on linux. If you do not have curl just install by the following command,
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
Also I did this by c++. I used curl c++ library and checking my rtmp link each 3 minute.
