Re: RTMPDumpHelper


Hi

This program is working well for my needs. But there is one flaw that I think needs serious consideration. This may or may not concern the author of RTMPhelper. But it really has everything to do with the rtmpsrv.exe.

It captures chat live streams very well. But apparently, for whatever reason, a stream might drop at times, and then the program attempts to "resume" the stream. In this case, the movie is completely destroyed. I witnessed this first hand while previewing a flv file that was being downloaded. While I was watching it, rtmpsrv.exe dropped the stream, attempted to resume, and then the file I was watching suddenly froze. I restarted the flv and lo and behold, it started from the point of resume. So, the first part of the video was wiped out.

With that said. RTMPSRV is cutting out earlier parts of videos, and/or making them unplayable all together "cannot render the file". There should be a way to get the RTMPSRV to ALWAYS created a newly named file when resuming so that no flv file will get written over. This may already be possible. But the RTMPDumpHelper certainly isn't supplying the options.
