// new Rant("help needed!")

I really need some help guys! Would be nice if you could checkout

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...

and help me out if possible :) Got some problems with ffmpeg on OS X not streaming https urls.
And if these kind of rants aren't supposed to be posted/created please tell me so. I am still not familiar with the overall flare of this community ;)

    How did you originally install ffmpeg? If it was with brew, you need to pass in an additional option when you install it:

    brew install ffmpeg --with-openssl

    That's what I did. It defaults to the use of the apple encryption library (because opensssl is deprecated on osx), this behaviour can be seen from the parameters passed to configure (--with-opencl).

    @tytho it seems that https is installed somehow (calling ffmpeg - protocols returns https) but still it doesn't work.

    @SirWindfield This was what I found, appears that some people had the same issue, but maybe yours is slightly different. I'd maybe try uninstalling ffmpeg, updating brew, then reinstalling it:

    https://github.com/Homebrew/...

    @tytho I completely uninstalled home-brew, removed all folders associated with it and reinstalled it only running ffmpeg and mplayer. Doesn't work.
    Looks like mplayer doesn't support https protocol urls. I simply removed the s, making the protocol http and it worked. Is this a bad "hack"? Because I can't see any other change of accomplishing it.

    It's not the worst thing in a world, but for me it would leave in itch in whatever I was trying to maintain

    @tytho Ye I know that feeling. Is there some alternative to mplayer that can can stream https urls?

    I'm not super familiar with mplayer, or ffmpeg for that matter. Does mplayer come with ffmpeg? Relooking at the SO question it might be a different library that needs to be built with openssl
