When I go away, I am expecting an rtmp: video conference to be streamed on a certain web page. I can leave my Browser on the page, but won't be around to click "Start recording".

Is there a package (ideally freeware!) that will just sit and wait for an rtmp: stream to begin (the page refreshes automatically), and then automatically record the stream when it starts (and stops when it finishes).

Create a .bat file for rtmpdump containing the command for the stream that's about to be downloaded and set a scheduled task to run that .bat file. Schedule tasks - Create basic task - set the path to the .bat file and the hour when it's supposed to start. You won't be able to set a specific finish time, but you can specify in the task scheduler for how long you want the task to run (1 hour, 2 hours and so on).

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don't know the exact time of the broadcast. So is there something that will detect a video stream, and then start recording?

Is there a script that is smart enough to detect whether a stream is active, and then initiate an event?
