Thanks for working on that!

Just a thought It would be great to add few examples to the doc I think that could help to understand the changes, for instance:

• Example of RTMP connection using VP9
• Example of RTMP connection using HEVC and HDR
• Example of video multitrack, simple 2 lanes h264 (could be 360p 500Kbps h264, and 720p 2000Kbps h264)
• Example of video multitrack, simple 2 lanes h264 (could be 360p 500Kbps h264, and 720p 2000Kbps h264)
• Example of reconnection

Hey Jordi, great suggestion. We will see what we can provide. Perhaps real world examples would be best.
