Rtmpdump Possible Bug

[uplotre]

Dear all,


Using the following command fails with the latest version of rtmpdump (current official head).

rtmpdump --swfUrl=http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer3:50.swf --live --pageUrl=http://www.ustream.tv/channel/radio-llena --rtmp=rtmp://flash62.ustream.tv/ustreamVideo/9279561/streams/live --flv=- -V

Also i tried the RTMPDump v2.4 GIT-2012-11-09 (Compiled by KSV) version. Same result, failure.

Using the version shipped with ubuntu 12.04 there is no issue (Version: 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1)

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks for pointing me the app and playpath svnpenn2.

Although i am still scratching my head, why this is working with ubuntu 12.04 version and not with the latest rtmpdump.

With ubuntu 12.04 (Version: 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1)

Using app and playpath, works as you suggested...

Because the the app/playpath parsing function is and has been messed up for some time now. See this thread for more info

Dear svnpenn2,

Another mate, point me to this commit:

Look for a fourth slash when splitting the url into app+playpath

Is it possible the above commit causing the problem?
