Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I'm trying to download a video off ITV Hub, there is no problem when I'm downloading HLS, but when I want to get the best, which is RTMP, I get ERROR: [rtmpdump] Could not connect to RTMP server.

I'd like to note I'm outside of England, I'm using Unlocator to alter my location and I don't have anything listening on the port 1935.

Most likely a connectivity issue on your side.
