Recording Stickam streams with Replay Media Catcher


 
I just tried to use Replay Media Catcher on Stickam streams, but it only captures one of the the little streams of the viewers with a cam next to the chat window in multiple copies. The main stream including the annoying advertising video is not recorded at all.

Any fix for this?

I can perfectly download the main RTMP stream with Replay Media Catcher 4.0.17:



I just don't enter chats to avoid other cameras being shown and recorded.

Another screenshot shows the recording stream being played with Applian FLV Player:

Thanks, this sort of seems to work. But in the preview window all streams seem to be restricted at 320x200. I would guess that the chat window streams have better resolution, but they can't be recorded as it seems.

And it also looks like streams with sound have time sync problems. In the status window, while recording the displayed time moves on much quicker. I record 30 seconds but the length will show at let's say 2 minutes. When watching it in the player, sound is played normally for 30 seconds but video replay is strechted to 2 minutes. When I use Media Player Classic it displays a different length but it's still out of sync.

BTW, I have encountered this sync problem at a few other sites as well.

I have sent a notice to the developer. Not sure whether the resolution is different or not, but I have problems recording from the chat window as well. I tried other programs to no avail.

This is a common problem with live streams. In many case the framerate is not broadcasted or wrong values are used. This causes software to guess the framerate. But you can fix this with RMC. It allows to fix time and duration. Just right click on the recording, then use Fix FLV tool to fix time.
