Thanks

rtmpdumphelper still works with chrome, at least, as long as it is configured to use the npapi flash plugin, instead of the built in ppapi pepperflash plugin, which never worked.

if you recently updated chrome, you may need to enable npapi support, as google are in the process of obsoleting support for it. see chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

i haven't tested it with firefox recently, although as firefox uses the npapi flash plugin, the chances are, it does.

however... in the last few days an issue with rtmpsuck has arisen, whereby it continuously drops the connection. this seems to be a systemic problem with rtmpdump, as both my personal build and ksv's patched build are equally affected.

so, for the moment i have reverted to using replay media catcher, instead of rtmpdumphelper+rtmpsuck.

fyi, ksv's recently released patched build is a good choice, if you're looking for rtmpdump for windows

Advice?

this sounds more like an issue with the version of rtmpdump you are using with rtmpdumphelper.

vanilla rtmpdump builds don't always save streams with extensions, depending on the stream parameters, and can overwrite existing downloads under certain circumstances. ksv's patched build ensures streams are saved with extensions, as well as time-stamping filenames, so that downloads are less likely to be overwritten.

although i have recently been having problems using rtmpdumphelper+rtmpsuck, being limited to a single download stream is not one of them.

I'm currently using rtmpdump 2.4 and rtmpdumphelper on windows

everything was working fine up until two days ago
now for all the sites I try to download from, the streams are so unstable. They keep going in and out so this results in like A LOT of 2-3 minute long files instead of just one long file. Please someone help. I'm not tech savvy

I've just been using this http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/rtmp_dump_helper.html for instruction thus far.

Sounds like they switched to another protocol [HLS, HDS, ...]. Could you post a link so that we can verify it?

oh geez. so this is kind of embarrassing but I've been using it on adult websites

the thing is...I go on two different websites (cam4 and chaturbate) and they both have the same issue. It would be weird if they both switched to another protocol at the same time

Livestreamer supports Chaturbate. So maybe you can use this application instead of RTMPDump.

Here is an example how it works:

Just tested: I'm also able to download the videos with rtmpsuck [RTMPDumpHelper].

[nullacht]

Cam4.com: Seems that they broadcast the videos frame by frame [every frame is a single picture]. Your assumption is correct: The RTMPDumpHelper application does not work with this website.

going to try this out over the weekend...its so complicated in comparison to rtmpdumphelper though where all i had to do was open the stream...it even let me do multiple streams

I've thinking of reformatting my entire laptop to see if fixes things bc I loved rtmpdumphelper that much
