Need Help on this server on Linux openSuSe 12.3

Hello everybody!

I am trying to download from this site:

HTML Code:

http://www.rtp.pt/play/p361/e129755/rui-vargas

after the usual procedure I go for the command:

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r "rtmp://h2g2.rtp.pt/fastplay" -a "fastplay" -f "LNX 11,8,800,170" -W "http://www.rtp.pt/play/player.swf" -p "http://www.rtp.pt/play/p361/e129755/rui-vargas" -y "mp3:nas2.share/wavrss//at3/1309/2663916_142776-1309272329" -o rv-2013-09-28-a.flv

But it never completes!

Only after last weekend (from last 28th September 2013) was I unable to download from that server.

The fact is that I can't even use google-chrome Version 29.0.1547.76 to watch it completely.

If I use latest Replay Media Catcher in Windows, there is no problem.

If I use Mozilla Firefox 24.0 in OpenSuSe, although with some interruptions I can listen to the whole show.

Any clue (even) to where I should look to, would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

Re: Need Help on this server on Linux openSuSe 12.3

Hello again,

Finally I have been able to download the file!

I have strong reasons to believe that this error is strongly connected to some sort of timing out of my system.

I am almost sure that the only reason that allowed me to finish the download was to stand by the terminal and doing other tasks while the rtmpdump tasks proceeded. Not allowing the computer to use its screensaver might have been the actual reason success.

If this holds true, there is something else that I must look on to, which is, how can I, in the future, prevent this "timeout"?

Any thoughts on this would be welcome!

Best regards.

And... here goes the solution (currently using it) :)

google search for "avoid kde screensaver"

there you can find this link: blog entry found on how to disable kde's screensaver :)
And, over that link you have a simple "one-liner" code that goes like this:

Code:

while /bin/true; do qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity > /dev/null; sleep 1m; done
