Re: Recording RTMP Webcams from cam4(HowTo record XXX/adult web-cam videos from cam4.


Cbater, here is a quote from my reply on the previous page that explains why this happens. Cam4 Grabber grabs the stream that guest users get and there can be problems with that stream.

I do know that Cam4 uses two streams, one for logged in viewers and one for guest viewers. When it's not possible to record a webcam as a guest, then you won't be able to view the webcam, as a guest, in your browser either. Viewing/recording webcams when logged in always seems to work fine. Cam4 has this problem for years now and that's also one of the reasons why the first version of this tool required you to enter your login details. Maybe Cam4 does this on purpose, to force people to register an account.
