1. Is flash broken on the latest Fedora? I created a Fedora VM with the latest release, and it will not play FLV files. I tried installing about every dependcy, and flash package, and it just won’t play flash. It will, however play flash in a browser, just not a saved stream flv file with either VLC or Totem. Flash plays fine in Ubuntu or Mint FYI.
2. I created and installed Capturebate on a VirtualBox and VMWare VM. It works in the VM’s however it will not record streams unless you create a folder outside of the CaburBate directory and configure it to record to that directory. Is this possibly a bug related to VM’s?
   
3. I’m not sure if I’m running the FFMPEG script right, though after running the posted batch mode command, it creates a bunch of small MP4 files in a separate folder, and when clicked they report an error reading “no playable streams”.
   
4. Is it normal to have streams split into separate recordings? I find a lot of streams break during recording, then start a new recording, even though it doesn't appear the models have gone off air or into private. Is there a way to prevent streams from breaking so they can record in one single file?
   
5. Would it make any difference in performance by using this version of RTMPDUMP? http://stream-recorder.com/forum/cus...le-t16103.html
   
6. What command do you use so GNU screen will start main.py and the output log in one window?
   
7. Feature request. Would it be possible to add a stream limit and priority system. Capturbate can easily burn through someone’s allotted bandwidth if they’re capped by their ISP or degrade a person’s QoS, so it would be great to have it limit how many streams it can record at one time.
   
   For example, have it so you can set a limited number of streams from your wishlist, then be capable of prioritizing it by adding asterisks next to a models name. The more asterisks next to a name, the higher the priority.

1. Thanks for the development of a handy app.

1. No idea, I've never used Fedora.
   
2. Kind of a known bug, environment variables throw it off, it is recommenced you set your Capture directory manually and give a full path.
   
3. Nothing wrong with the command, put it in a bash file and make sure you don't have any extra characters etc. also ffmpeg should be compiled with support for libmp3lame & libspeex
   
4. Yes, kinda. This is due to the models dropping offline or going in private, even for a second this will split the stream, you can't overcome this with the rtmpdump method but you can fix it in post by merging your converted mp4s
   
5. That is the version recommended in my original post and on the repo.
   
6. Run main.py in screen, disconnect and then tail the output.log .. that is simple enough.
   
7. I won't be adding any limitations to CaptureBate, I run it on servers with 10GBit+ links and capture all models .. it's waste of time for me to add limitations, if you don't have the bandwidth at home you can get a vps/dedi crazy cheap these days which is highly recommended.
