maybe we need some study cases with testpage urls.
+ first of all i need webpages which clearly state the screenable video resolutions. if someone here on this forum says "1020p", then i dont believe it unless he/she links me to the official webpage stating or indicating it. "HD" is a relative term and may be used differently by different companies. we're talking here of 3 different TV stations!
Typically "HD" means "720p" in internet broadcastings, see Hulu or youtube: when they say (of If they say) "HD", then they mean "720p" and not "1024p" or higher.
+ and even terms such as "
SD" and "
HD" are not clear to the average user unless you study the 2 wikipedia articles in full-length, which would take maybe 2-3 hours.
+ terms such as "
720p" or "
1080i" or "
1080p" are unclear to the average user too, so dont use them either. What everybody here understands is resolution dimensions such as "720x 480" or "1024x768" etc.
+ i need someone to propose a specific testpage url (something VERY current or recent). then i'll do a series of screenshots of GetFLV. ABC, NBC and CBS are officially supported websites by GetFLV: all their possible resolution formats!
+ and one of the rtmpdump fans (KSV, Ed999, Steven, chap, hyc, rtmpexplorer, ..) could post their findings too
+ in summary, @diggitydug,
1. name me a testpage url (video link)
2. name me the exact resolution format (dimensions, e.g. 480x600pixels) you want the video in
3. prove me that your video is being broadcasted in this resolution format (e.g. official webpage detailing on the different video dimensions). to be clear, you cannot demand "2048x1024"-videos if the highest quality on their servers doesnt go up until "800x600".
==> 4. i will prove then that GetFLV downloads your video in your specified dimensions.
ABC, NBC, CBS are a piece of cake for
GetFLV, any resolution format, .. the problem is that the v9.0.0.3 version has a little bug: new users cant test the software ("your license has expired"-error message). i am sure that a working trial/demo mode of GetFLV will be reintroduced in v9.0.0.4+
good luck.
