What is rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv? When to use rtmpsuck and when rtmpsrv/rtmpdump?

rtmpsuck works like a proxy server. Packets come through it to flash player, rtmpsuck saves (captures) them.

rtmpsrv allows to find RTMP/RTMPE parameters for rtmpdump. Also it can launch rtmpdump automatically.

thanks!
do you have some guide lines (from experience) when we should use rtmpsuck and when rtmpdump?
so far i have only used rtmpdump: once you know its parameters, rtmpdump does the job (=saving/capturing the stream) flawlessly.

so i never needed rtmpsuck.

when do we employ rtmpsuck then?

rtmpsuck allows you to stay undetected. It saves a stream while you watch it or listen to it.

Also some streaming servers do not allow you to reconnect, so this is where rtmpsuck can help.

The problem is that rtmpsuck allows to save one stream at a time only. Besides it records in real time.

So if you can record without rtmpsuck, then record without it unless you want to stay undetected.

thanks!

Is there any REAL GOOD tutorial for the use of rtmpsuck on SRF, with a hands-on example (with example URL and step-by-step instructions)?

i cant find anything really good

Here are tutorials for Ubuntu Linux:
How to use rtmpsuck in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
How to use rtmpdump with rtmpsrv in Linux

If you use Windows then just install Linux You can use dual boot or install it onto a virtual machine like free VirtualBox. And you can even use Wubi for your first installation which allows to install Ubuntu Linux right from your Windows.
