Hi KSV, sorry took some time before I was able to try again. Anything everything is working now, after downloading RTMPdump 2.4 again. Quite happy that it finally worked. To more understand what I am doing, do you know a good guide for the commands and parameters of rtmpdump...
Thanks for being a great help again

I should have done that a long time ago, now I only have to give one single command to download a complete video and are no longer troubled by missed key frames.

There was one thing however, a one and a half hour long vid of over 800 MB in size stopped downloading every time I tried after about 70% was downloaded, giving the following error:
"ERROR: Request timeout/select failed, ignoring request
Closing connection... done!"

The only option for rtmpsuck is -z (debug) so I tried that. Downloading (as well as video playback on the website) then became very slow, but after closing the terminal (!) after about 15 (?) minutes, download (as well as playback) continued at normal speed and the video downloaded completely.

Does anyone know if the problem that Koos describes above is solved in rtmpdump version 2.4?

Thanks for this great tool!
