mirror an RTMP stream on my Linux server

mirror an RTMP stream on my Linux server

 

Hey,

Is there anyway to mirror a RTMP stream on my Linux server. It's a live stream and I can download it using rtmpdump but I can't figure out a way to mirror it so other people can watch the stream off my server. Is it possible at all?

First of all, you can just embed the original stream onto your web-page without mirroring it.


And if you can download your stream with rtmpdump, you should be able to play it with VLC.

May be you can re-broadcast an RTMP stream with VLC as well.

hey man, cheers for the reply and a great forum you're running here.

yeah, i tried just pasting the code into a webpage but it didn't work. you need to login to the site to watch the stream so it's probably the login cookie thought i didn't know flash could see login cookies. problem is if the site sees 50 people viewing the steam they might close my account so i was hoping my server could grab it once and let everyone see it.

yeah, i researched going down the vlc pipe path, i think it's my only hope. cheers for the help.

I see now. Then mirroring is a must have. Make sure it is legal :)

There is a chance that some streaming server software can mirror RTMP streams.
