Bug#819266: ffmpeg: rtmp is broken

That's not what I meant. I meant the following: There are websites
embedding rtmp:// links (e.g. <https://2016.revision-party.net/live>).
Of course, these links do not contain "live=1"; no implementation
besides librtmp needs that. Clicking such a link and opening it in an
ffmpeg-backed application will result in an error on Debian, but nowhere
else (people reported on IRC that the link works fine both on Windows
and on Arch Linux).

Adding " live=1" works with VLC jut as well as MPV. But that's besides
the point. We cannot expect users to know this, things should Just Work
(TM).

Kind regards,
Ralf
