[FFmpeg-user] HEVC over RTMP

[PSPunch]

Please excuse me for posting what may be a question on containers in
general.

How difficult is it to modify FFmpeg to enable HEVC output over RTMP?

When combining <-c:v hevc> with <-f flv rtmp://...> I get the message
"Video codec hevc not compatible with flv."
I have read elsewhere that officially this will not be possible until
Adobe updates their RTMP standard.

If I am willing to drop compatibility, would it be just the matter of
rewriting FFmpeg to bypass the check to refuse HEVC+RTMP, or are there
other characteristics of the codec, etc.. that make it difficult to
combine these two?

I guess I may also need to rewrite the streaming server and player as
well, but that is another thing.

Thank you.

This is correct.

I would expect that it is trivial to invent a standard
but it sounds like a very bad idea to use a standardized
transport format in a non-standardized way.
