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

[rastamanx]

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.

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.

StreamTransport and VSO Downloader 3 are no longer able to record streams on it. I hope that someone is able to come up with a solution soon.

Numbers on Cam4 have been falling steadily for the last few months. I think a lot of people are getting fed up with how money has become the main driving force behind the site and how GREEDY Cam4 are (as in how much money Cam4 cream off the top of everyone using the site)

I suspect Cam4 may get another fright now, with all the recording now (or at least temporarily) blocked, I suspect numbers will take ANOTHER big fall.

I think that however much they lost money thanks to these programs, they have erred in doing so, pay attention and see the huge number of false tokens from Monday until today, it is increasing.

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.

I don't think they obtained access to that site's recording tools as it appears they simply obtained ownership of the domain, most likely by filing a trademark infringement against the domain registrar based upon the name "cam4" itself.

You can look at the domain's WHOIS here: http://whois.domaintools.com/cam4-archiver.com

It brings up the contact name of "PAUL EIDSNESS" of Cape Coral, FL.

Next, google PAUL EIDSNESS and you'll see that he appears to be an attorney that operates out of Cape Coral, FL.

I tested it with two models and let both of them download for about 10 minutes and it worked fine.
