Yes, I see exactly the same problems. I've upped the TCP buffers to 12MB and it's still unreliable. When you think about it, if the program can't keep up then it doesn't matter how big you make the low level TCP buffers, rtmpdump's own buffer will overflow. The TCP buffers are there to optimise

Hmm. Just had 2 failures with the same old problem. So it looks like upping the low level TCP buffers sizes are not the cure for this. Reverted to my tweaked rtmpdump and reliability returns. Cheers Neill. On 09/01/13 10:46, Neill Mitchell wrote: Okay, I've played around with th

Hi. I assume as you are running on a Raspberry Pi you built rtmpdump yourself? Obviously my x86_64 binary will not run on your ARM. The patch is quite easy if you have the build environment set up. Just open rtmpdump.c and search for "64 x 1024" and change it to 64 x 4096. In the same functi

OP here :) Okay, dusted off my C knowledge and made sense of what rtmpdump is doing. The reason it only goes bang right at the start is because it is doing a bit of extra sanity and set up processing on the initial packets at that stage. This is enough time to tip it over the edge and overflow
