Customized rtmpdump binaries with patch file

[KSV]

Anonymous recently shared some good patches with me so i thought of reviving the release thread again. apart from all my patches till date this release includes following new enhancements.

Anonymous's Contribution:

1. Better resume support:
rtmpdump can now resume from corrupted files by automatically searching the file for valid audio video frames.

2. Invalidate "Play2" command:
rtmpsuck now invalidates this transition command so flash player isn't able to adaptively switch the stream to another quality during capture.

3. Generate unique filenames:
if detected filename is longer than 128 characters it generates short unique name instead.

4. fixed a bug in AMF3 decoding

5. few other minor fixes

My Fixes:

1. add timestamp to detected filename (rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck) to avoid overwriting the streams

2. replace invalid characters in filename with underscore

3. fixed a crash in rtmpsuck when closed using 'q' command

4. fixed generation of invalid flv file in some rare cases

5. few other minor fixes

==========
This release supersedes all previous releases.

https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/releases

==========

Compiling with Patch for other systems:

assuming you have all tools (gcc, binutils etc.) and dependencies (OpenSSL, Zlib) installed correctly for your distribution.

1. clone the repository

git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/rtmpdump

2. copy patch from package to rtmpdump directory and apply it

patch -p0 -i Patch.diff

3. then just compile and install normally

make
sudo make install prefix=/usr

Mac users should add SYS=darwin while compiling. you can also add XLDFLAGS="-s -static" to statically link and strip the resulting binary.

very weird problem: I'm using unofficial KSV version. on one of my boxes it doesnt work properly: I investigated and found that the server asks for an answer which on other boxes is calculated well, but on this box no... checked python, and there it calculates well
so, on this thing:
enc = AMF_EncodeNumber(enc, pend, exp(atan(sqrt(VerificationNumber))) + 1)

the "bad" box returns ((VerificationNumber) + 1)

any idea? I'm totally cluless

btw, it's a linux box

Post the full debug log (-V) on pastebin. if it works on everything else then it can't be code's problem.

Thank you so much for that, KSV!

After some testing.
Unfortunately,latest release still overwrites live stream
Every time it's saved with the same filename.
I use RTMPDumpHelper+RTMPSuck

i have fixed another rtmpdump bug in which flv header was set with wrong data type (audio/video marker) which is yet another regression due to those array types. though file may play normally in most players rtmpdump was looking for the wrong type of keyframes while resuming.

another enhancement included is that upon resuming it was looking for keyframes with timestamp 0 only but now it searches other non zero timestamps too (timestamps are adjusted accordingly for this resume drift). so it's able to resume in those cases also where our required keyframe has nonzero timestamp.

Test case for both bugs:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpt://h2a.rtp.pt/vodrtp" -y "nas2.share/videos/auto/planetamusica/planetamusica_1_20120317" -o planetamusica_1_201203171.flv

@RedPenguin
your problem seems more like server configuration issue because the same response is accepted by other servers without any problem. anyway i have disabled it in my patches for compatibility reasons.

@alexanderd
it seems like you are using old binaries not the updated ones posted in first post.
