RTMPDumpHelper Question

[riverstream]

I am using RTMPDumpHelper for live streaming. The program saves an flv file on my computer and then I open it with VLC. The problem is that the stream is never live. It is 15 or 20 seconds off because of the time it takes to load when I drag the flv file into the player. Is there a way to make it so the stream is actually in real time?

Well I solved my own problem, sort of. Using VLC Media Player there is an option to "Jump To A Specific Time". Using that option I was able to get the stream down to about 1 or 2 seconds off. Good enough for me.

Pipe it straight to VLC without downloading, all you do is remove the

 -o "XXXXX.flv"

Then add something like this instead

-o- | "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -

Now the stream is Live
