[rtmpgw] - video starts to play only when I stop rtmpgw

[yegorov-p]

Hi everyone.

I'd like to receive video stream from that camera:
http://www.centrettc.ru/cam3-stream-jw/ or direct link
http://www.centrettc.ru/pub/jwp/play....94.30/rtplive

So, I start rtmpgw:

rtmpgw -r "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive/cam3-pf1.stream" -t "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive/cam3-pf1.stream" -s "http://www.centrettc.ru/pub/jwp/player.swf" -p "http://www.centrettc.ru/cam3-stream-jw/" -g 81

In several seconds rtmpgw connects and it shows something like

260.394 KB / 10.22 sec

But VLC, connected to http://127.0.0.1:81 shows nothing! Then, in 3-4 minutes, rtmpgw stops and vlc starts to show video from the camera =)
Then, after 3-4 minutes, vlc stops and rtmp writes something like that:

D:\[DROPBOX]\My Dropbox\rtmp>rtmpgw -r "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive/cam3-pf1.stre
am" -t "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive/cam3-pf1.stream" -s "http://www.centrettc.ru/
pub/jwp/player.swf" -p "http://www.centrettc.ru/cam3-stream-jw/" -g 81

Can somebody help me with that?

use Mplayer

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive" -a "rtplive" -f "WIN 10,3,183,10" -W "http://www.centrettc.ru/pub/jwp/player.swf" -p "http://www.centrettc.ru/cam3-stream-jw/" --live -y "cam3-pf2.stream" | "C:\PROGRA~1\MPlayer\mplayer.exe" - -cache 8192 -framedrop

I know how to dump it and how to play it with mplayer ;-)
I don't understand, why rtmpgw doesn't work.

it's not rtmpgw's fault. open the url 127.0.0.1:81 in your browser and it will start saving data normally. it means rtmpgw is sending back data as intended but player is choking on that particular stream. even when you try to pipe through rtmpdump player shows exactly same behavior.

Ok. Here's another example

Source:

http://inter.ua/images/player.swf?fi....149.26.240/tv

Run rtmpgw as

rtmpgw -r "rtmp://62.149.26.240/tv/inter" -t "rtmp://62.149.26.240/tv/inter" -s "http://inter.ua/images/player.swf" -g 81

VLC plays it perfectly. Why? =)

read the bold part again. it may be due to improper stream format.

do not know, maybe I was wrong code - but it works
use mplayer(try cache8192,framedrop)

rtmpgw -r "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive" -a "rtplive" -W "http://www.centrettc.ru/pub/jwp/player.swf" -p "http://www.centrettc.ru/cam3-stream-jw/" --live -y "cam3-pf2.stream" -g 81 | ping -n 1 -w 100 192.168.254.254 >nul | "C:\PROGRA~1\MPlayer\mplayer.exe" - http://127.0.0.1:81

use vlc(try cache 30000ms - 50000ms)

rtmpgw -r "rtmp://62.33.94.30/rtplive" -a "rtplive" -W "http://www.centrettc.ru/pub/jwp/player.swf" -p "http://www.centrettc.ru/cam3-stream-jw/" -v -y "cam3-pf2.stream" -g 81 | ping -n 1 -w 100 192.168.254.254 >nul | "C:\PROGRA~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" - http://127.0.0.1:81
