diff --git a/GoPro RTMP streaming with FFmpeg b/GoPro RTMP streaming with FFmpeg
 Basic Requirements:

 Computer with wired and wireless connection
 FFmpeg installation: http://www.ffmpeg.org/
 GoPro Hero 3+: http://gopro.com/
 RTMP server e.g. FMS (http://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-media-server-family.html) or CDN ingest point

 Overview:

 GoPro Hero3 cameras produce HLS streams which are consumed by control apps and their removeable monitor.
 It's simple to take this stream and rebroadcast over RTMP by following the instructions below. 
 Hopefully there are also a lot more interesting use cases for this, but this should provide a starting
 point.

 Instructions:

 1. Turn on WiFi on GoPro.

 2. Connect to GoPro from computer over WiFi.

 3. Determine IP address of GoPro camera by finding the default gateway for your wireless connection - 
 this is usually 10.5.5.9 but may differ. Guide for Windows / Mac here: 
 http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/finding-your-default-gateway/. This can be achieved in a 
 similar way on Linux using the command ifconfig on the command line.

 4. Browse to the IP address of the camera on port 8080 to ensure you can connect to it and it is 
 capable of streaming video over WiFi. You can do this by putting http://[IP]:8080 in a browser window, 
 where [IP] is the IP of the GoPro camera identified in step 3. You should see a directory listing if 
 connected successfully.

 5. Once confirmed, in the command below replace [IP] for the IP address as above, and replace [RTMP] 
 with the URL to the entry point for your FMS server/CDN e.g. rtmp://myserver.com/stream/stream_name. 
 If authentication is required, apply it as username:password@ after the protocol, 
 e.g. rtmp://username:[email protected]/stream/stream_name.

 ffmpeg -re -i http://[IP]:8080/live/amba.m3u8 -c copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 96k -ac 2
 -ar 44100 -f flv "[RTMP] live=1"

 6. Execute the command and verify playback.
