How to check if a live RTMPT stream can be accessed

[mustafatemiz]

I found following link to a live RTMP stream from the site http://semerkand.tv/Site/canli.aspx
rtmpt://semerkandweb.garantisistem.com:80/Semerkand

I tried to view it with some HTML like:

<object width="566" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf">
<param name="flashvars" value="src=rtmp%3A%2F%2F89.149.244.41%3A1935%2Fliv e%2Fkontv">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<embed src="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="566" height="400" flashvars="src=rtmpt%3A%2F%2F89.149.244.41%3A1935% 2Flive%2Fkontv"></object>

But it didn't work. Has it something to do with that the server only allows access to the domain www.semerkand.tv?

How can I check if the stream is accessible?

why don't you use rtmpdump?

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://semerkandweb.garantisistem.com/Semerkand/semerkand2" --live -o Test.flv
