rtmpdump: recording and watching at the same time - Audio/video stream recording forums

Hi,

I want to watch the stream in vlc and at the same time I want to record it to an output file.

How do you do this?

This code works only for recording the stream to file.

Code:

"C:\Users\***\Documents\rtmp\rtmpdump.exe" -v -r "rtmp://***" -o C:\Users\***\Documents\rtmp\refile.flv -W "http://***/player.swf" | "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -

And when you leave out:

Code:

-o C:\Users\***\Documents\rtmp\refile.flv

then it does play the stream in vlc.

How can you get both at the same time, please?

Also:

Can you give your output file a incremental file name like:

Code:

refile1.flv

refile2.flv

refile3.flv

...

because when you do frequent recordings of a live stream, you dont always want to change file names by hand.

Or how do you this then, please?

Thank you for any help!

Kind Regards
Ben
