Can you change the code of of rtmpsrv, rtmpdump to run with the --live parameter by default.

Can you change the code of rtmpsrv, rtmpdump to run with the --live parameter by default.

it will be easy to do but i can't understand the purpose of adding --live switch to every command executed by rtmpsrv :confused:

If is not difficult for you, could you please do it? Thanks.

rtmpsrv was not even checking for the live flag. i have added the code to check for live flag in play packet and if present add it to the command line.

Hi
Can you explain how to do that when compiling for Linux?
Or will you submit it as a patch?

I want to ask if you can somehow pass parameters from rtmpsusk to rtmpdump. It it real?
For example at this link _http://www.ustream.tv/sfshiba RTMPexplorer (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/RTMPExplorer-freeware-GUI-for-rtmpsrv-Windows.htm) can not download, but rtmpsusk can.

But rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) can download. Parameters were taken from rtmpsusk.

here http://www.105.net/sezioni/inradio/radio/index.php?ch=6&webradio=105%20Latino not working correctly rtmpsrv (does not transmit a command --live)

Live switch can only be detected when it is sent by client. but in case of these two streams they are not sending any live flag.

so how does their streams play in flash client but not in rtmpdump?

because rtmpdump was always sending the optional start flag in play packet and their servers refuses to play when start flag is non negative. i have modified this behavior and now start and duration flags will only be sent when explicitly defined. this will let these types of streams play without specifying --live flag. however there is another problem due to a hack used by rtmpdump for faster downloading of recorded (nonlive) files. whenever it receives a BufferEmpty message it sends Pause Unpause packets to force sending next buffer. this may create some anomalies in recorded files when stream is live and --live switch is not specified because live stream can only be received in realtime. if we disable this hack, everything will be fine for live streams but download speed for nonlive streams may be slow so i haven't disabled it.

in short if you know that stream is live and rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck can't detect live flag, it would be better to specify --live flag though rtmpdump can download without it now.


I want to ask if you can somehow pass parameters from rtmpsuck to rtmpdump.

it took some time to figure out. i have added some code to rtmpsuck and copied one function from rtmpsrv. now it willl save the commands in Command.bat just like rtmpsrv.

but why didn't rtmpsrv works with ustream?

because their client sends a channel parameter in connect packet and server responds with original url to connect with. rtmpsrv is faking the connect response so client is not able to connect to stream.

i will post the updated package and diff file later.

You'll have to wait for a new version of rtmpdump that can handle flash 10 handshakes.

Can you enlighten on this issue.

I do not want to be intrusive, if we can make a fully transparent rtmpsusk (as someone said of the sponsors of this program).
Maybe then can be downloaded using rtmpsusk, this and similar video

Yes, now rtmpdump not interrupted by injection without parameter --live (sometimes it was). Now we do not need to install(-- live). And the output parameters rtmpsusk, more informative, super simple.:cool: Thanks again.

It downloads OK only if I run the command without the --live switch.

[KSV]

the common user doesnt need the patch, or do we need it? it's for information purposes only, isnt it?

patch is not required for windows users because package binaries are already compiled with it.

i have fixed detection of live flag. I also fixed another problem when batch file is directly used and rtmpdump parameters contain % symbol e.g %2F %2D etc.. in that case window was replacing % symbols resulting in non working batch file. now i am escaping these symbols with %, means %2F will be stored as %%2F so it can be used from within batch file. if you are copying batch file command to use on console you should replace %% with % or command may not work properly.

Hi
I've modified the rtmpsrv.c file by changing the 4 lines from your latest patch that deal with the live flag.
Then re-compiled.
It seems to have cured the 'false positive' issue for that 60 Minutes clip.
