Can't download from rtmp:// URLs

[SamusAranX]

This is more of a feature request than a bug report, but hear me out:
youtube-dl is already the one tool I use to download videos, so being able to just throw an RTMP URL at it would be nice.

Bare rtmp URL is usually not enough. In any case why not just call rtmpdump?

Mainly because I was on a computer running Windows and I had no clue where youtube-dl keeps it.
Also, I discovered that the particular site I was trying to download from will happily give me an HLS M3U8 file if I visit it with my iPhone's user agent, so I guess this issue just solved itself for me.

Where youtube-dl keeps what?

rtmpdump is not part of youtube-dl..
