Any thoughts how can i fix it?

Note that: check_retransmition("http://impradio.bytemasters.gr/8002/LIVE") (http instead of https) after a avast allow, works!

Answer 1

For security reasons this feature has been disabled of old version of windows (i am using windows 7).

Using this ffmpeg version (i used the second link) solve the problem.
