@item content_type
-Set a specific content type for the POST messages.
+Set a specific content type for the POST messages or for listen mode.
@item http_proxy
set HTTP proxy to tunnel through e.g. http://example.com:1234
@item post_data
Set custom HTTP post data.
-@item user-agent
@item user_agent
Override the User-Agent header. If not specified the protocol will use a
string describing the libavformat build. ("Lavf/<version>")

@item timeout
Set timeout in microseconds of socket I/O operations used by the underlying low level
operation. By default it is set to -1, which means that the timeout is
If set to 1 enables experimental HTTP server. This can be used to send data when
used as an output option, or read data from a client with HTTP POST when used as
an input option.
-If set to 2 enables experimental mutli-client HTTP server. This is not yet implemented
+If set to 2 enables experimental multi-client HTTP server. This is not yet implemented
in ffmpeg.c or ffserver.c and thus must not be used as a command line option.

# Server side (sending):
Note that some formats (typically MOV), require the output protocol to
be seekable, so they will fail with the pipe output protocol.

+Pro-MPEG Code of Practice #3 Release 2 FEC protocol.
+
+The Pro-MPEG CoP#3 FEC is a 2D parity-check forward error correction mechanism
+for MPEG-2 Transport Streams sent over RTP.
+
+This protocol must be used in conjunction with the @code{rtp_mpegts} muxer and
+the @code{rtp} protocol.
+
+The required syntax is:
+@example
+-f rtp_mpegts -fec prompeg=@var{option}=@var{val}... rtp://@var{hostname}:@var{port}
+@end example
+
+The destination UDP ports are @code{port + 2} for the column FEC stream
+and @code{port + 4} for the row FEC stream.
+
+This protocol accepts the following options:
+@table @option
+
+@item l=@var{n}
+The number of columns (4-20, LxD <= 100)
+
+@item d=@var{n}
+The number of rows (4-20, LxD <= 100)
+
+@end table
+
+Example usage:
+
+@example
+-f rtp_mpegts -fec prompeg=l=8:d=4 rtp://@var{hostname}:@var{port}
+@end example
