Hi, i think i used the same script just under windows. It stopped working like it is described here. Found it on a forum a few weeks ago. So I'm a total novice to rtmpdump. With more than a little effort i got it working again - so thanks to all the people here!!!
BUT... the script i found used a (for me) complex definition of the output file name to prevent overwriting. That is because the "batch" file (Windows) starts the rtmpdump.exe just again and again after hitting a key. So if the "model" just had a little break or the connection is lost, you can go on without starting the batch file again (and entering the model name). But i don't really have a clue how the commands for the variable filename work.
And this "-o" definition doesn't work anymore with the new needed parameters (password hash). If this "-o" line is submitted, the error is just you described: "You must specify a playpath (--playpath) or url (-r "rtmp://host[
ort]/playpath") containing a playpath"
If I replace that with a fixed filename like test.flv it works fine. So... HELP! Just like i said, I'm a beginner. So if it has nothing to do with rtmpdump, please don't hit me. But I would appreciate any help I can get from all the experts here. Because i find this method very useful.
So... here are the (shorten) lines that work and don't work.
Work (fixed filename after "-o"):
Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://edge1-a.stream.highwebmedia.com/live-edge" -a "live-edge" -f "WIN 11,1,102,63" -W "http://chaturbate.com/static/flash/CBV_2p607.swf" -p "http://chaturbate.com/%username%/" -C S:**** -C S:%username% -C S:2.607 -C S:**** -T "m9z#$dO0qe34Rxe@sMYxx%" --live -y "anything_here" -o "chaturbate\test.flv"
Don't Work (variable filename depends on model name, date and time):
Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://edge1-a.stream.highwebmedia.com/live-edge" -a "live-edge" -f "WIN 11,1,102,63" -W "http://chaturbate.com/static/flash/CBV_2p607.swf" -p "http://chaturbate.com/%username%/" -C S:**** -C S:%username% -C S:2.607 -C S:**** -T "m9z#$dO0qe34Rxe@sMYxx%" --live -y "anything_here" -o "chaturbate\%username%-%date:~-4,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-10,2%%time:~-11,2%%time:~-8,2%%time:~-5,2%.flv"
You see that the model name is given as the variable %username% that you have to give to the batch file. It works fine at the "-p" and "C S:" parameters, but not in the "-o". So just using -o "%username%.flv" will get that error. But using only the %date and %time part with fixed model name before (test-%date:... and so on) work neither - get the same error.
Can anybody help me?
Hope my English is not to bad so everybody understand this. If something is not clear or you need more/different information please ask!
