How to watch rtmp:// stream from webcams like earthcam and others in VLC?

Good afternoon, I want to ask for advice on how to open an rtmp:// stream (online broadcast) through VLC from sites like earthcam. An rtmp:// stream from YouTube or Vimeo opens without problems. And earthcam or ustream does not see, although download programs like GetFLV easily see and record the stream.
And also it is interesting whether it is possible to transfer the rtmp:// stream to http:// on the fly for applications that require it in mpeg-ts.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

As far as I know, vlc does not know how to pick up an rtmp stream, but rtmpdump can. You can find a lot of things on the topic of rtmdump + vlc
Here is what came up first in the search:
rtmpdump.exe -r rtmp://188.165.205.104/technosmart/techno10! --quiet | "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -
About the formation of mpeg-ts over http, probably you meant the formation of an hls stream?
vlc can do that. Here is an example.
As for the bundle, I would not use this kit for several reasons:
1. Transcoding via libav (and this will have to be done) is a very expensive thing in terms of resources.
2. In case of loss / errors in rtmp xs, how will this bundle behave - most likely it will fall and will not rise until you touch it with the handles.
It is better to take something more tailored for these tasks (wowza/erlyvideo). Although the latter also transcodes through libav.
