Hi,  
  
  
  
I’m developing a plugin that’s supposed to access videos provided via RTMP. My problem is that none of my streams load correctly. They work fine via rtmpdump, but somehow Plex has trouble parsing the URLs (or so it seems). I’ve provided my log below:

```auto

Sorry, got it running. Didn’t realize that I had to split the URL in two parts!

Where can I get this plugin?? I would love to be able to watch [espnplayer.com](http://espnplayer.com) from plex instead of opening Chrome for the games 😉
