What is rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv? When to use rtmpsuck and when rtmpsrv/rtmpdump?

rtmpsuck works like a proxy server. Packets come through it to flash player, rtmpsuck saves (captures) them.

rtmpsrv allows to find RTMP/RTMPE parameters for rtmpdump. Also it can launch rtmpdump automatically.

thanks!
do you have some guide lines (from experience) when we should use rtmpsuck and when rtmpdump?
so far i have only used rtmpdump: once you know its parameters, rtmpdump does the job (=saving/capturing the stream) flawlessly.

so i never needed rtmpsuck.

when do we employ rtmpsuck then?

rtmpsuck allows you to stay undetected. It saves a stream while you watch it or listen to it.

Also some streaming servers do not allow you to reconnect, so this is where rtmpsuck can help.

The problem is that rtmpsuck allows to save one stream at a time only. Besides it records in real time.

So if you can record without rtmpsuck, then record without it unless you want to stay undetected.

thanks!

Is there any REAL GOOD tutorial for the use of rtmpsuck on SRF, with a hands-on example (with example URL and step-by-step instructions)?

i cant find anything really good

Here are tutorials for Ubuntu Linux:
How to use rtmpsuck in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
How to use rtmpdump with rtmpsrv in Linux

If you use Windows then just install Linux You can use dual boot or install it onto a virtual machine like free VirtualBox. And you can even use Wubi for your first installation which allows to install Ubuntu Linux right from your Windows.

yeah. gotcha

well, maybe in future some experienced rtmp sucker can write a full-fledged tutorial (with example url's) for rtmpsuck FOR WINDOWS?... hopefully

i've seen other rtmpsuck tutorials for Linux on the inet floating around (e.g. on blogs).

Really. when i hear 'Linux', i already give up!

I used to do that to. And the first time I tried Red Hat Linux in 2000, I didn't like it at all. But new Ubuntu is just awesome. While Windows 7 is as slow as a turtle on my Core2duo, Ubuntu works just fine. And I enjoy fast and secure web browsing now. After using Ubuntu I don't want to get back to Windows. I wish there were more software for Linux... but most things that I really need are already there.

And it is so easy to install Ubuntu. I had much more problems installing Windows 7 and Vista (of course they install just fine if you format your hard drive). And you can even install Ubuntu from Windows using WUBI. Although the latter is not a very good solution, but it is very easy for newbies.

After using Ubuntu successfully, I started thinking that Linux is great and M$ just has a huge marketing budget.
I can't imagine not only google, but even this web-site running on Windows servers
