@ KSV
As with the CBS website in the previous post (from chap Location: Ukraine).
This 60 Minutes clip also gives a 'false positive' live flag.

It downloads OK only if I run the command without the --live switch.

patch is not required for windows users because package binaries are already compiled with it.

i have fixed detection of live flag. I also fixed another problem when batch file is directly used and rtmpdump parameters contain % symbol e.g %2F %2D etc.. in that case window was replacing % symbols resulting in non working batch file. now i am escaping these symbols with %, means %2F will be stored as %%2F so it can be used from within batch file. if you are copying batch file command to use on console you should replace %% with % or command may not work properly.

for patch users, if you have applied any of my previous patch it would be better to revert to r569 and then apply this patch.

Hi
I've modified the rtmpsrv.c file by changing the 4 lines from your latest patch that deal with the live flag.
Then re-compiled.
It seems to have cured the 'false positive' issue for that 60 Minutes clip.
Thanks.
