Change the directory and command directory to where your directory is.

Then run:

sudo supervisorctl reread

Should tell you that all is fine.

Then run:

sudo supervisorctl update

And it should be started, to check run:

sudo supervisorctl

And it should output something like:

capturebate                      RUNNING    pid 24295, uptime 0:01:46

Note: im running as root and I didn't need to do sudo but everything else was followed but I got this:

Everything was perfect until the last step, supervisorctl

root@debian:~/Apps/Captureb# supervisorctl
capturebate                      FATAL      Exited too quickly (process log may have details)

This is the log file it created:

Did:

sudo supervisorctl reread

show that everything was fine?

And:

sudo supervisorctl update

Was ran?

I don't run capturbate as root, I run it as a user, you may want to try that. Otherwise, edit /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf and add loglevel=debug to the [supervisord] section.


P.S:
To get rid of the warning about CElementtree:

sudo apt-get install python2.6-celementtree

Should fix it for Debian.

[flipper2011]

It didn't work in debian 7 as root but then I tried to do it as normal user but it didn't work correctly and I ended up switching to Mint 17.1 and it worked flawlessly as a user. THANKS

No probs, I run it with Ubuntu 14.04.1LTS and all works well .

Since you seem to have all the answers can you give me EXACT instructions to get FFMPEG to work - no matter what I try it doesn't work (so I can't use this VM to convert). I just copy the files to my Windows session and manually do it, but if I can get FFMPEG to work correctly, it would help

Also, unrelated, is there a simple way to STOP recording someones cam (after it already is started). I was recording someone that was on all day and it was more or less a waste of 4gig's of space so I wanted to abort the cam recording, but ended up just restarting mint and that worked.

Here is my Dockerfile, which I use for Ubuntu 14.04, which you can draw from: https://github.com/zugg/capturbate-d...ter/Dockerfile

Also, not sure how to stop, as it would just resume recording them as they are on your wishlist.

I cloned rtmpdump as root, which cloned to my home directory. Then installed as you posted. I ensured librtmp.so.1 was in /usr/lib, which it was, and ran the program, it still did'nt record. I then copied over librtmp.so and librtmp.3 to /usr/lib just to see if that did anythin, and nothing recored.

I got this working on Ubuntu, so I'm certain my pass and hash is correct, but just having no luck with Debian.

I have the exact same problem : no recording.
Regarding github issues, same problem than the issue #8 "0 byte files" (all files have a size of 0).

Removing the "--quiet" option in models.py gives me the error :
"ERROR: RTMP_Connect0, failed to connect socket. 111 (Connection refused)".

I *do* have installed the KSV patch (in /usr/bin).
I've either git cloned the KSV repository and too tryed to git clone the ffmpeg original rtmpdump repository then apply the KSV Patch.diff file before compiling : still the same problem (Connection refused).

I really don't see what i'm missing ...
I'm running Ubuntu but as far as i can tell it should be irrelevant for this issue ...

It is a rtmpdump issue, of course, but if anyone would have a solution, i would be grateful.

Thanks anyway for this script that seems to be very well done (so bad the recording doesn't work for the now).

Are you banned from Chaturbate's rtmp servers maybe?

[CrazyNash]

I don't think i'm banned. How could i check that ? The site works fine in any browser.

In the meanwhile, i installed the exact same packages on another computer (hosted online server), still on ubuntu (but 14.02 this time) and there everything works (exact same rtmpdump KSV version).
My local ubuntu is an old homemade-NAS running Ubuntu 12.04.

rtmpdump doesn't seem to have a lot of dependencies (libc and librtmp), so it's a bit weird.

The other difference is that my old precise ubuntu is running "at home" whereas the newer one is running directly online : could it be a network issue (port blocked by router / cable box) ?
