Renaming rtmpdump downloads automatically based on date and time (Windows, Linux)

[KSV]

This is very simple in any scripting language. if you are using simple batch file in Windows then use:

for /f "tokens=1-6 delims=/:." %%a in ("%date%.%time%") do set FileName="MyShow - %%a-%%b-%%c - %%d-%%e-%%f.flv"
rtmpdump.exe -r "rtmp://live1.seeon.tv/edge/nvcrd4lz4zs0w34" -p "http://www.seeon.tv/view/11073" -W "http://www.seeon.tv/jwplayer/player.swf" --stop 3600 --live -o %FileName%

Thank you for a great tip!!!

Could you please explain how it works? Specifically:
1. Where do the variables %%b, %%c, %%d, %%e, %%f come from?
2. What is "tokens=1-6 delims=/:."?

It works. You know a lot. Respect!

token 1-6 specifies that we want to divide the input string ("%date%.%time%") in maximum 6 parts starting from %a. delims specifies the delimiters that will be used to break the string.

PS: when using outside the batch file use single % eg: %a instead of %%a

Any chance I could get you to write that same script but for a linux machine instead of a windows one? Thanks.

The following script should do the trick

#! /bin/bash
FileName=`date +"MyShow - %0d-%0m-%0y - %0k-%0M-%0S.flv"`
rtmpdump.exe -r rtmp://live1.seeon.tv/edge/nvcrd4lz4zs0w34 -p http://www.seeon.tv/view/11073 -W http://www.seeon.tv/jwplayer/player.swf --stop 3600 --live -o \"$FileName\"

Hi
i have a problem with this script. the output flv file is always MyShow with no date and when restart the script the previous flv file is overwritten.

There is only a little mistake in the script.
This should work:

#! /bin/bash
FileName=`date +"MyShow - %0d-%0m-%0y - %0k-%0M-%0S.flv"`
rtmpdump -r rtmp://live1.seeon.tv/edge/nvcrd4lz4zs0w34 -p http://www.seeon.tv/view/11073 -W http://www.seeon.tv/jwplayer/player.swf --stop 3600 --live -o "$FileName"
