I think tcp:// is miss-leading, and only exist in FFMPEG to stay
backward compatible. If you want mpegts over tcp, you could use
tcp+mpegts://, this at least would be a fully specified scheme. Just
TCP is ambiguous. It endup giving you a non-live source (no timestamp
information), that cannot be seeked. As there is no packetization, it's
also hard to manage it has live. Solution are welcome, but it's not
that simple.
