i want capture, a live stream with rtmpdump.
i use the -v option.
rtmpdump -r rtmp://server -v -o test.flv
but I returned the following error
ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
any help please.

The program RTMPSRV.exe - which accompanies RTMPDUMP.exe in most Windows distributions - can 'sniff' the connection and find the necessary Command line settings for you.

Some practical advice which might help you -

The main difference in the case of a live stream is the need to include the switch --live [or the alternative switch -v] in the command string, not substitute that one switch for the entire command line.
