Customized rtmpdump binaries with patch file

[KSV]

i have seen some people claiming that certain url's working with old builds but not new one's. this is due to the changed behavior of url parsing in official git repository. for example if you have passed following url to rtmpdump it will behave differently after this commit.

-r "rtmp://host/first/second/third/fourth"

old app will parse the app as first/second and playpath as third/fourth while after this commit app will be parsed as first/second/third and playpath as fourth invalidating the previously working command.

you can overcome this problem in two ways:
1. specify app and playpath using separate commands (-a|--app) and (-y|--playpath) respectively.
2. in my builds you can also use // as app and playpath separator.

-r "rtmp://host/first/second//third/fourth"

With your server it doesn't work at all.

use following command to access it directly with IP.

rtmpdump -v -r "rtmp://124.40.42.172:80/live/Flash_live_KTO_TV@27823" -W "http://www.ktotv.com/templates/ktotv/swf/player.swf" -t "rtmp://cp99495.live.edgefcs.net:80/live" -o Test.flv

Your second stream is also working fine for me.

It's working great with -t parameter added even with original server.
Thanks very much KSV.

'-t' switch doesn't do anything magical. probably it was a temporary glitch on your side.

How about BUFX - realtime download on some servers...
Isn't possible to download with real speed on servers based on Flash Media Server 3?

Majority of sites runnin FMS is needed to use -v mode and sometimes videos are downloaded with lag between Video/Sound.

i don't quite understand what you wanna say but it has been resolved long ago.

--realtime|-R           Don't attempt to speed up download via the Pause/Unpause BUFX hack

I have some trouble with a stream. The capturing seems to start but it captures only 0.01sec and then the process hangs / doesn't captures anything more ...

C:\Users\media\Desktop\rtmp>rtmpdump -r "rtmp://xxx:1936/streams" -a "streams" -f "WIN 11,6,602,180" -W "http://xxx/xxx/xxx.swf" -p "http://xxx" -y "xxx" -o "xxx"

Try adding -v (--live) switch.

Thank you KSV for your effort and for adding those patches, one of which has fixed my previous problem. It is definitely appreciated. If only I had a tenth of the understanding that you have!
