Recording cancels instantly after starting

[Amelandse]

WMR version 14.3
OS Windows7 Ultimate (64 bits)
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3
Firewall: Windows Defender
Anti-virus: Eset NOD32 4.2

I am a WMR user for some years now, a very satisfied customer. But since last week (?) I encounter the same problem; after opening a webpage with a live stream the recording is immediately cancelled.
The url of this page is: http://www.greatriverenergy.com/abou...l/birdcam.html

I watch a lot of webcams with live images from nest sites of Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles, they too are in wmv format.

Last Friday I recorded the launch of the Space shuttle from NASA TV, no problem there either.

Would really appreciate any help or explanation.

I just tried recording the Peregrine Falcon site you linked. WMR14 cancelled immediately as usual. I still have WMR12, however, so I tried the same site with that. Recording was successful in HTTP/WMV format, albeit at a very slow rate (maximum 264Kpbs, minimum 64Kpbs), where my normal recording rate is usually 784Kpbs or better.

I then went to one of my own favorite sites, tried to record with WMR12, and it wouldn't activate at all. I believe the site owners have blocked downloads. That is the reason for my purchase of WMR14 in the first place, since it promised it would record video from all sites, any format.

But, as usual, WMR14 started recording in RTMP format, but froze up after recording about 200Kb... also as usual.

I guess the WMR14 icon will remain sitting on my desktop as a reminder to maybe, on of these days, try to get my $50 back :-(

Yes this is frustrating. My experience WMR14 will be as good as 12 was, after the programmer has worked on the current problems.

This version won't work with BBC - You might want to download the LATEST upgrate to WMR 14.4 which records from bbc B-E-A-UTIFULLY!

The new version is up and running. Open Settings and click Updates in the current WMR (14.0) or download from

http://www.wmrecorderpro.com/install_wmrecorder.exe

If you already have 14.1, then don't worry about that - and please proceed to the below instructions.

You need to run WM Recorder with the Preview mode enable. Click OPTIONS / Flash RTMP download options and then Enable preview recording. Also make sure you have the High speed download checked in this pop-up.

There is more to the real time preview. Watch Applians marketing director' Leslie's demonstration of BBC 2 hour radio show recorded in about 4 minutes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udnAbZiBlMk ) and how you can use this real preview:



WMR is the only recorder that can do this.

The real time preview however has a drawback - in some cases it loads up the CPU (just as the Adobe Flash player). If you have a number of shows downloaded simultaneously at max connection speed (10 for example) it is better to disable the real time preview which could generate downloading errors in this case. These errors cannot be handled by the converter. If you have complains about conversion problems of FLV files recorded with WM Recorder, disable the real time preview.

Let me know how it goes! :-)

That was it!!!!!!!!!
I have followed the above instructions and WM14 is now working as I thought it should. It no longer stops soon after it starts recording.
The download time for me is not as fast as Leslie´s demo, but I think that is to do with my broadband connection. My useless ISP will not supply me with more than 1 MB in my area.
Try it guys. This has solved my issues.

Wonderful - thanks for the update!

I had this same problem after upgrading to WMR14 after having WMR12 work for many years.

After some looking around, I noticed the URL from a newly-recorded stream had ":80/" at the end of it.

I added ":80/" to the end of my URL and now the recording continues instead of instantly cancelling.

This is certainly easy to try.

I have now modified the file "scheduled.txt" with the ":80/" for each file name and all my old scheduled items work. (I sure wish an upgrade operation would automatically copy this file into the new folder so all the work I've done setting up a schedule would automatically be imported into the new version.)

Have you tried upgrading by downloading WMR 14.4. I did and all is fine with me now.
Having said that, if your suggestion has worked for you then .......

I am just not that good.
