Re: Can't record any RTMPE streams with Jaksta. Deceiving info on the web-site?


Hi,

The information is not intentionally deceiving but requires some more explanation which is available in the FAQ section of the website. Perhaps I will provide a link directly to them.

In anycase:

The FAQ's and support links state that Jaksta can not be used to bypass copy protection mechanisms. Note that RTMPE is not a copy protection mechanism but SWF Verification is. SWF Verification is most often used with RTMPE. See below for the progress log of Jaksta attempting and RTMPE stream and then failing on SWF Verification as it must to remain DMCA compliant.

I have not yet updated Jaksta to support myspaces new playlist format (mRSS), but in anycase the streams using RTMPE are protected with SWF Verification. There are still alot of streams on myspace that dont use RTMPE/SWF Verification that Jaksta can download.

As for Hulu and fancast the link states that support for Hulu was withdrawn back early last year when all their streams started using copy protection (SWF Verification). Fancast aggregates shows from many sites including Hulu. Again some shows on fancast use standard RTMP and can be download by Jaksta. The reason for the link is that I get a 100 support requests aday asking about Hulu each time I have taken it down. With it up I only get about 5.

I hope that clears it up.
