Recording RTMP Webcams from cam4(HowTo record XXX/adult web-cam videos from cam4.com)

[Calvin1961]

The technical team at Cam4 suddenly seem to be very busy and for a change it looks like they actually KNOW what they are doing. Two articles explain a lot of it:

I suspect with access to cam4-archiver they have been able to reverse engineer HOW cam streams were being recorded and have taken steps in an attempt to mitigate this. (Frankly I am less than convinced that they even WRITE the cam streaming code for the site - I suspect it is FAR more likely that this is a purchased "bolt-on" module - but it would appear with the newly gained knowledge they have managed to tighten it's operation considerably)

The changes may have stopped external recording, but they have done NOTHING for the poor site performance, it is as buggy, constantly freezes and gets up to all the other nonsense it is famous for just as before !

Will be interesting to see IF and WHEN the changes can be circumvented.

if they find a program that works warns, I tried all that are available and no more downloads, and Jaksta saves but also with several errors. I hope they can get around again because unlike chaturbate the site ta very weak and not worth investing money in it for the TRANSMISSIONS

Yep, Cam4 fix rmtp and cam4cmdline RMC everyone...
what can we do??

Ugh, that sucks. Hopefully we'll be able to find a way to resolve this!

Well I'm pretty sure someone with better knowledge of RTMP/RTMPDump (like KSV, if you're reading this ^^) can understand what is the problem here.
It doesn't even look as complicated as chaturbate's scheme, so it will prolly get fixed, it's just a matter of time.

what I find strange is that looking at the Jaksta not see any difference in the archives. to tell the truth is a difference but on the last page number of ip, up from 199.59.88.13 and 199.59.88.11 is now.You can only give all that trouble?

For rmc and Jaksta add cam4 as a secure ramp site so it is recorded instead of downloaded. In rmc6 this is done under the site specific tab of advanced internet download settings. In jaksta5 this is done on the ramp settings tab. Hth.

This is a valid workaround for the time being, but I believe the issue still can be fixed with rtmpdump/librtmp since the site is clearly not using RTMPS but still using RTMP.
So there must something I'm missing, but no idea what exactly.

Record in downloading mode can not record private

Jaksta I've seen what works but not very unstable. I do not know if it's coincidence but noted that decreases the number of people who transmit, many appearing always gone on Monday and the following as making more private and group show.
