rtmpdump provides this functionality out of the box; a new patch is not required. If you don't specify an output file (don't use
-o) it will write to the
stdout stream, and since you don't need this output you can redirect it to a null file. On windows you can use
NUL and on unix-like systems you can use
/dev/null.
rtmpdump's informational messages are fed to
stderr. Depending on the tools at your disposal, you can consume this output in a stream-like fashion, or save a predefined amount of text to a file, to be processed later. If you need the latter, your command line would look like:
Code:
Windows: rtmpdump ... > NUL 2>data.txt
Unix: rtmpdump ... > /dev/null 2>data.txt
If you need more detailed diagnostics to go in your captured file, consult the rtmpdump man page for verbosity switches.
