ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header Closing connection... done

When I use rtmpsuck v.1.3 in Ubuntu 10.04 I get the following error in about 60% of cases
ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
Closing connection... done!

I haven't noticed any activity in the rtmpdump project for a while. Will there be any fixes for the problem???

Hi,

Fedora 13 + rtmpdump 2.2 + rtmpsrv. I used rtmpsrv to grab an rtmpdump command. When I try the rtmpdump command I get the following:

WARNING: Handshake: Type mismatch: client 6, server answered 8
INFO: Connected
ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
*** glibc detected *** rtmpdump: free(): invalid pointer: 0x04be5c40 ***

Is my procedure correct? What other information should I include here to help find/fix the problem?

"ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket,failed to read RTMP packet header "

part way through download, stops responding with CPU 100%, very repeatable, say every other download

v2.3-2, on ubuntu 11.04, new since OS update (and rtmpdump update) but stream also changed.

used throguh get_iplayer 2.79.

is there debug flag or a drop-in debug build i could get some more info from?

I was using RTMPdump for a long time but it's the first time I have this trouble. There are last lines of cmd:

661.966 kB/6.37 sec
ERROR: WriteN, RTMP send error 10054 <42 bytes>
ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len:5994

Could someone write a patch for RTMPdump to make this stream work? It seems to use ticketRenew authentication. I'm asking in this thread, because it shows the same error as in the first post.

I have a similar problem when I run librtmp with _DEBUG enabled.
It does not happen without the _DEBUG.

I do that by removing the comment in log.h as defined there:
/* Enable this to get full debugging output */
#define _DEBUG

I run:
ffplay rtmp://192.168.2.103/vod/media/sample.flv

and get error:
RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
rtmp://192.168.2.103/vod/media/sample.flv: Operation not permitted

its on my way to another bug.

Any idea how to make _DEBUG work?

Thanks,
Ofer

This message could also mean secure token is missing.
