    Feel like there's a few parts missing that I'm not getting.

    The author mentions that the PS5 uses RTMPS to push video up to twitch - but suddenly it just uses plain RTMP?

      because he switched to it's youtube integration which doesn't support RTMPS...

        But that integration kept timing out, so the author switched back to Twitch and somehow found a plain-RTMP endpoint that time. I'm also confused.

          As someone who works with RTMP/S a lot, I suspect the Twitch endpoint is accepting RTMP streams even if it specifies or usually expects RTMPS - I find very often that servers will accept both.
