Bug#777686: /usr/bin/avconv: rtmp 'listen' does it work as explained in the manpage?

[Benoit Panizzon]

Package: libav-tools
Version: 6:11.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/avconv

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to receive a rtmp stream with avconf for further processing,
i.e. what the manpage refers to as 'listen' option.

But no mather where I specify the listen flag, it does not work.

And I probably also stumbled over another bug in handing rtmp URL's.

According to the manpage you can submit username and password with an URL in the form

rtmp://username:password@server:port/path

But then I do this, avconv is trying to resolve the 'username' part to an IP address to connect to and then fails.

Please kindly check if the options described in the manpage are correct and add more examples.
