Hi,
I am experiencing problems when trying to save Akamai rtmp streams. It seems to download only a small fraction of the stream. Here is an example:
rtmpdump --verbose -r "rtmp://cp108341.live.edgefcs.net/live/sf2_1_800@43048" --swfsize 927444 --swfhash 6c1be1765187eae0bc9af07d858fae59a0effd3c5b803d08db 261ced2c5512bb -o "M:\Streams-TV\RTMPdump videos\test.mp4"

I have verified the swfsize and swfhash from many sources on the internet. They are all the same for akamai streams as far as I have seen.

Here is the normal output:

Here I stopped rtmpdump manually, but it does keep going on its own normally.

However, I can watch these streams without a hitch if I pipe the output to VLC... I really don't understand why :(

Thank you for any help!

You forgot option --live
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp108341.live.edgefcs.net/live/sf2_1_800@43048" --swfsize 927444 --swfhash 6c1be1765187eae0bc9af07d858fae59a0effd3c5b803d08db 261ced2c5512bb --live -o test.flv
