Here is one interesting link:

https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/1111

Some on streamlink forum are like ostrich burying their heads in the sand unwilling to recognize existence and importance of rtmp protocol.

XP is dead, and they are still working on it.

They are working on XP because there are always those few..

Well, dear streamlink fellows, there will be those few.. using rtmp rotocol lasting far longer than users using XP.

Numbers on this forum speak.

"rtmpdump" and "adult streaming videos" forums = rtmp protocol.

Take it away, and stream-recorder forum is 50% smaller.

ImLive was booted from their rtmp host and now they are on a new rtmp host and running 2 rtmp streams in parallel in addition to 1 hls stream per model.

On Russian TV ( RT ), they use hls protocol like any other news website but guess what:

When Puting speaks there is one extra rtmp stream in real-life time running parallel with hls:

rtmp://fml.3443.edgecastcdn.net/203443/en-stream

Rtmp is back on Press TV, congratulations.

rtmp://178.32.255.199:1935/live/ptven

Each and every cam site runs on rtmp protocol probably because it is best suited for cam-to-cam.

I cannot update rtmpdump, but at least I can see it's importance using common sense.

Streamlink is fantastic project for other things and I keep this thread on top.


Cheers,


Johnny.

For those saying:

what the shit...

at least you can watch Putin and Press Tv from my last post.

And ImLive, if you know how..

Does someone use Streamlink regularly to record Chaturbate? Does Streamlink work so badly, poor quality, freezing, etc. Or is it a problem with this script?

Hi,

the script isn't the problem and the freezing issue / dropped frames you also have if you just watch the streams in browser for many cams and same gets recorded too.So if you don't want to record with SL from the playlist in that TS format then change the script (or write new) to record in Flash format with rtmpdump.So I do prefer flash format where you have less problems with your records for playing,seeking & editing instead of TS.

I just wanted to know if this problem exists at all, is it just my computer's configuration problem (Python, excluded services etc). Quick editing of flv without re-encoding (cut / join) is possible only with ffmpeg (at least I do not know which programs support it) and it's time consuming even with GUI. TS accurately cut a lot of programs, even those free.

[troller12]

Hi,

the problem isn't your computer config.
About FLV format.I for myself use VirtualDub with diffrent import plugins like FLV Handler (for flash format),FFMpeg plugin (for diffrent formats also flash files and TS etc).Optional you can also use AviSynth & scripts.Just check this out if you want.Maybe its something for you too also if you have to download the stuff manually first.

Here is one solution to Stramlink's file formats problem but at a price.


Using ffmpeg to get flv format returns a file with audio an video in sync, but during ffmeg converting CPU usage spikes in short moments to 30% !

This spikes don't appear while ffmpeg is just copying but resulting file is next to unplayable.


Here is one example for example's sake only, my script is involved:

youtube-dl.exe --get-url -f 94 --no-check-certificate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg | clip
for /f %%a in ('clb.exe') do set url=%%a
ffmpeg -user-agent Mozilla/5.0 -i %url% -c:v h264 -c:a aac c:\SKY_%d%.flv

I get youtube url sent to clipboard and from there url passed to ffmpeg.

This returns perfect file but at a price of 30% CPU usage in spikes every few seconds or so.

This matters to me because my PC is 100% passively cooled without any rotating parts inside and increasing CPU usage rises the temperature.


here is one example of bad file resulting no matter how I name filename extension, mkv, mp4, flv, etc.:


streamlink.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg 480p -o c:\SKY_%d%.mkv


Does anyone know if there is any default file extension for youtube live videos or streamlink's output to that type of stream?

How to figure out what file extension would be the most suitable to streamlink to return decent file in case of youtube live videos?

This would benefit us in a way that streamlink or ffmpeg would just copy and save the stream without much processing in the background.
