Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Similar to issue #16115, but the media format should be different.

ZLMediaKit supports the WebSocket-FLV protocol. Currently, I've only found flvjs or other forked versions that can play media using this protocol on the web. On the desktop, there's no other solution except using a webview.

I hope MPV will add support for links using this protocol, e.g.

ws://somedomain.com/live/0.live.flv
wss://somedomain.com/live/0.live.flv

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested behavior with issue #16115, then read the linked ZLMediaKit WebSocket-FLV and flv.js references. Done means MPV can open and play the supplied ws:// and wss:// FLV links, with reproducible verification for both protocols.
