rtmpdump error: application has failed to start because libeay32.dll was not found

 

Hello.

Every time I try to download an RTMP stream using rtmpdump.exe (from Windows build rtmpdump-2.2c) I receive this error:

Command:

rtmpdump.exe -r "rtmp://host/dir/filename" -o filename.flv

Error: rtmpdump.exe - Unable To Locate Component

"This application has failed to start because libeay32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem."



Search the Web for Libeay32.dll gave the following Info:

Filename: %PROGRAMFILES%\twc\medicsp2\bin\LIBEAY32.dll
MD5: C2FA196F8DD651F04E120C7214F18FD1
Size: 1069056
Version: 0.9.8b
Product: The OpenSSL Toolkit
Company: The OpenSSL Project
Company URL: http://www.openssl.org/
Operating System: Windows XP
Description: OpenSSL Shared Library

So what is there to be re-installed to get the rtmpdump working ?

The RTMP streams I try to download do not need SWF Verification, proxy, etc. and are downloadable by Orbit Downloader.

Any help ?

Thanks. :confused:

1. My system is not 64-bit nor Windows Vista. It is 32-bit Windows XP SP3.

2. Win32 OpenSSL Installator prompts to install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables first. How many MB of installation is Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables and do I need all these only to get 2 dlls ?

I found 5 copies of libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll on my system in other program's directories and these dlls are available to download from the Web ?

:confused:

Just download the new rtmpdump-2.2d-windows package. It no longer needs any OpenSSL DLLs.

hi,

You can go to this site ..
as I registered few dll's from this site as it is free...worked in my case :)

But since you already have this DLL in other program's directories, just copy one of them to Windows/System32.
