RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

Hi,

I've been ripping some files from streammate and i've noticed that sometimes the rmtpdump stops download, it seems to happen all the time at the same places for each file so it's not anything random, anyone able to figure out what might be causing this?

If i play the file through their flv player they all work perfectly and you can fast forward past the part the download stops.'

EDIT: It seems to be happening with streams that are longer than 3 hours.

Hello Hasomaso :)

-v is not active, could you specify an example how to use this switch? I can't for the life of me find a good documentation on all the switches for rmtpdump.exe

thanks!

Re: RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

here a livestream rtmpdump code from this site what you mean, and works fine without breaks and stops!!!

use the latest rtmpdump release from KSV here on board

-v and -e added in code

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r "rtmp://fcs121-1.streamate.com/reflect/4054450747" -a "reflect/4054450747" -f "WIN 15,0,0,152" -W "http://www.naiadsystems.com/flash/generic/20141015104935-117-a8c1494/avchat.swf" -p "http://www.streamate.com/cam/Princess18/?langchoice=de" -C S:0 -C S:7150302 -C S: -C O:1 -C NS:sakey: -C NS:srv:69720 -C NS:srvav:69720 -C NS:sk:streamate.com -C NS:hd:1 -C NS:pid:7150302 -C NS:lang:de -C NS:ft:15 -C NS:sessionType:preview -C NS:g:L2NhbS9QcmluY2VzczE4Lz9sYW5nY2hvaWNlPWRl -C NS:sid:4054450747 -C NS:freecnt:2 -C NN:version:8.000000 -C NS:signupargs:smid=7150302 -C NS:nickname: -C O:0 -y "4054450747" -e -o "output.flv"

Re: RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

Hmm, can't get it to work,

trying this command:

Quote:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://fcs5-1.streamate.com:1935/vod/extss" -a "vod/extss" -f "WIN 14,0,0,145" -W "http://static.gfx.cammodels.com/skin/sm/flash/player.swf" -y "mp4:2010-12-30/show_1123750261_1293690279553_external" -o "test.flv"

Download goes fine but stops at 44.1% every time.

Re: RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

i have tested until 57,3% and works fine without problems
which release of rtmpdump you use?

Re: RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

I'm using the latest version stickyed on this forum: https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/releases

EDIT:It seems it was releated to not running the program as an administrator in windows8.

EDIT: Now even stranger, when running as admin it downloads completely but file contains no video data, it's only sound, same command used.

Runing the exact same command without admin gives video but stops at 44.1% each and every time.

I notice with other clips longer then 1 hour it stops around 1 hour into the video stream, that's why the % varies depending on how long the actual clip is.

If it's 2 hours it will stop around 50%.

Why is rmtpdump limiting itself to around 1 hour?

Re: RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

Turns out when i run windows 7 in a virtual machine and try the EXACT same setup it works perfectly, so that's that. Windows 8.1 not fully compatible with rtmpdump.

Re: RMTPDump from streammate download stops mid file?

Update turns out my windows 7 isn't working on all files either, some files work (more than on windows 8.1) but some download completely WITHOUT the video part (sound only).

I literally have no idea whats going on, i can't find a pattern. It's very strange that if i run the rtmpdump.exe as admin i only get sound to download, if i run it regularly it downloads both video and audio but stops around 1 hour of playtime.

Is the rmtpdump.exe downloaded from this page bad? where can i find a good working version?

EDIT: Tried older versions of rmtpdump and i am experiencing same issue, download stops mid download for no reason. It seems like it stops at various % rather then at a static % as i had issues with before.
