rtmpdump always starts downloading again from scratch after some time.
Is there a way to get an autoresume on rtmpdump to prevent the restart loop?
or at the most to ensure that the program will stop instead of start again downloading.

with live option once rtmpdump had finished, the file did not come properly: there are frequent still images. While the audio goes, the video remain locked at the same frame every X time. :(

I have tried with the movie in this page:
http://cinema.popcorntv.it/video/?cid=11169
with this command:
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://wos.cr1.streamzilla.xlcdn.com/vod/_definst_/" -W "http://home.popcorntv.it/swf/flowplayer.commercial.swf" -p "http://home.popcorntv.it" -y "sz/deltapictures/cinema/FHelvira/FHelvira_800.mp4?token=8fhfiefbwi2c35aa3300336875d 361c4d7&time=53de5f9" -o helvira

mmmmh....
probably times out.
must refresh smil parameters:
url: escape("http://rrr.sz.xlcdn.com/?account=deltapictures&file=cinema/FHelvira/FHelvira_800.mp4&type=streaming&service=wowza&output=smil")

but I got same behavior with all videos...

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://wos.cr1.streamzilla.xlcdn.com/vod/_definst_/" -W "http://home.popcorntv.it/swf/flowplayer.commercial.swf" -p "http://cinema.popcorntv.it/video/?cid=11169" -y "sz/deltapictures/cinema/FHelvira/FHelvira_800.mp4?token=33e92076930911f657e81cc55e7 c95d1&time=531666eb" -o helvira.mp4

working for me :D

ciao

ps: che brutto film

[filippo.rosa]

no way.
wrong for me. Rtmpdump jumps backwards.
also with realtime option I have video issue.

ps: talmente brutto che anche il programma si rifiuta di farmelo vedere ;)

I don't know why Hasomaso has deleted his posts, does not matter.
The issue I had is well known:
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/rtmpdump-file-download-keeps-restarting-t11148.html
but with -live option my video freezes:
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/picture-freezes-slideshow-like-file-downloaded-wowza-t16265.html
Unfortunately after adding -R the result is the same. Probably due to my slow connection.
So the problem is the RTMP_LF_BUFX hack. To solve this issue I downloaded rtmpdump version 2.1 that comes without hack.
Now I can download video with a low timeout:
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/rtmpdump-hangs-if-live-stream-capture-breaks-t7112.html
/rtmpdump-2.1 $ ./rtmpdump -m 15 -r "rtmp://wos.cr1.streamzilla.xlcdn.com/vod/_definst_/" -y "sz/deltapictures/cinema/FHelvira/FHelvira_800.mp4?token=33e92076930911f657e81cc55e7 c95d1&time=531666eb" -o helvira.mp4
In this way, however, the video "jumps backwards" every now and then:

http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/rtmpdump/2012-May/001947.html
So the last step I had to do was to fix the video.
In my case I used avconv:
/rtmpdump-2.1 $ avconv -i helvira.mp4 -qscale 1 -copyts -async 1 -r 25 helvira_fix.mp4
That's all.

hi mate,

i have not deleted my post!!! i think that was a Mod.
i dont know why?

or you can try with

--tcUrl "rtmp://wos.cr1.streamzilla.xlcdn.com/vod/_definst_/" -R --buffer 2000

[filippo.rosa]

ah, ok.
So sorry for what I said.
Unfortunately, even with '--tcUrl' and '-R --buffer 2000' the final video is out of sync and freezes.

@birillo:
what operating system do you use?

[filippo.rosa]

@birillo:
what operating system do you use?
and what rtmpdump version do you use?

[filippo.rosa]

The solution posted gave some freez problems. :(
I don't know if this will be helpful, but this version (http://www.mediafire.com/download/25zyb2hn1lqa7ls/rtmpdump_-_PauseBreak.zip) of rtmpdump works.
run by:
#!/bin/bash

until ./rtmpdump -r "..." -y "..." -o filename -e
do
sleep 10
done

I don't know why :D
