Description

**What's the problem? (required)**
Sometimes the encoding software doesn't do a good job creating the RTMP ingest URL (for example, Wirecast). Especially when the user is copy/pasting the URL, it's easy to end up with something like `rtmp://mdw-rtmp.livepeer.com/live//{stream-key}`. In this case, our API doesn't accept the stream.

**What's the current behavior? (required)**
Our API should recognize this case and still accept the stream.
