im here looking for answers too, im currently trying to write code using FFMPEG & youtube-dl, and i seem to have that part ok, but i really want to stream from a URL like @bentech4u wants to do also.. hopefully someone in this community can figure it out. best of luck all.

@faraamcode you could (if supported) first get the feed down via streamlink, then pipe it into ffmpeg.

@bentech4u Copy M3U8 from facebook live thats all also if both video , audio streams are libx264, aac respectively then no need for re-encoding stream to youtube rtmp

if not then you need to encode codecs suggested by youtube

It can be as simple as ffmpeg -i "<YOUR_SOURCE>" -f flv "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/<YOUR_STREAM_KEY>"

The other stuff just adds extra control. You may or may not need it depending on your needs.
