Anyone know how RTMPExplorer actually works?

[mferris77]

I don't mean "how do I use it" (it works fine for me) but how does it actually hook into rtmpsrv/rtmpsuck?

I have a fairly unique situation in which i'm trying to grab a few seconds of video from a set of live video streams in a scheduled/automated fashion. I can get by with the usual methods if I have to, but being able to hook into rtmpsuck and have my FLV automatically saved would be a big time saver. I'm guessing the "EasyHook" dlls are a key element but I'm not sure where to start.

Why not just use RTMPExplorer, you say? Well, because I don't actually need the browser element (or at least I don't need/want it to be visible) since the feeds will be accessed every 'n' seconds/minutes and I don't want the RTMPExplorer app popping up continuously. Not only that, but because these are live feeds, RTMPSRV doesn't work, I need to use RTMPSUCK.

Like I said, I can get by with the standard methods if I have to, but if anyone on these forums has a little nugget of knowledge regarding the inner workings of RTMPExplorer/hooking into rtmpsuck they can throw my way it would certainly help with my little project.

Thanks in advance!
