First I try to connect with

This returns a similar dump to the online player one: s redirect response package
Real Time Messaging Protocol (AMF0 Command _error('NetConnection.Connect.Rejected'))
Redirecting to another rtmp address.
Property 'redirect' String 'rtmp://186.153.1.4/liverepeater/_definst_/5daaqaibaqm2bi2ezrnmey2gtrmitzqg'

rtmpdump doesn't handle it, and when I use it manually:

rtmpdump -r 'rtmp://186.153.1.4/liverepeater/_definst_/5daaqaibaqm2bi2ezrnmey2gtrmitzqg' -a 'liverepeater/_definst_/5daaqaibaqm2bi2ezrnmey2gtrmitzqg' -f 'LNX 11,0,1,129' -s 'http://tvpublica.com.ar/vivo/swf/player.swf' -p 'http://tvpublica.com.ar/vivo/' -b 2000 -y livestream -V

I compared the original and the rtmpdump tcp-dumps again... and rtmpdump deletes the stream before giving it a chance to start, without apparent reason.

Any guesses? Might it because of a timeout? rtmpdump deletes the stream 140ms from the play package, and it takes the original player 290ms to receive a response.

That site, blows.

Might be limited from inside Argentina, but I don't think so.
Anyone else can confirm this?

You could also try with http://canalsieteenvivo.com.ar/ . Not official and with adds, and seems to be a retransmission.

Thanks!,
It was an rtmpdump issue.

For ubuntu/debian users:
Official repository 2.4 has issues.
If rtmpdump is compiled librtmp needs to be also replaced to avoid a segfault issue. But gstream depends on the old librtmp.

I solved this by compiling rtmpdump statically:
make SHARED=no

I used svnpenn's branch (https://github.com/svnpenn/rtmpdump)

Third time I try to reply to this thread :(

Thanks, that worked.
Seems to have been an rtmpdump issue from the 1.4 version in the ubuntu repository.
Compiling the version from your repository fixed the issue.
