rtmpsvr

[send2gl]

Folks,

I am running Linux Ubuntu 16:04

Reading up on downloading a video stream using rtmpdump the use of rtmpsvr is mentioned as an aid to finding video details.

If I try and run it from a terminal I get the following;

geoff@satellite:~$ rtmpsvr
No command 'rtmpsvr' found, did you mean:
 Command 'rtmpsrv' from package 'rtmpdump' (universe)
rtmpsvr: command not found
geoff@satellite:~$

I do have RTMPDump v2.4 installed so am not sure what to do now.

Confused.com - I am confused as to what you are trying to tell me.

We both have 2.4 and your's works and mine doesn't.

If I try to install rtmpsvr I get the following;

geoff@satellite:~$ sudo apt-get install rtmpsvr
[sudo] password for geoff: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package rtmpsvr

I do have the Universe repo enabled.

Is your Linux Ubuntu 16:04 32 bit or 64 bit version ?

Is your RTMPDump v2.4 one with KSV patch or earlier one ?

Apologies for late reply - been away and didn't get email notification of addition to this thread.

It is installed on Ubuntu 16:04 64 bit.

I haven;t knowingly installed any patch, how would I know if KSV patch present?

If you installed your rtmpdump in this way:

sudo apt-get install rtmpdump

you have an old version of rtmpdump package which won't be of much use today.

Follow steps from this thread to update your rtmpdump:

This is how my rtmpdump directory looks like:
