I have RTMPDump version 2.4 git-6230845 2011-9-25 and VLC 2.0.2. I put rtmpdump and vlc in path and when I start livestreamer with url and quality (best) it launches vlc but see nothing in cmd and nothing plays on VLC.

I used the -c command to print out the command it was using and played it manually and got "NetStream.Play.Failed" error. Not sure what is broken my RTMPdump or the script.

rtmpdump.exe --swfUrl=http://www.justin.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf --jtv=44c9d0431551003b59d642c69a67f3ea9acf4ef1:{"swfDomains": ["justin.tv", "jtvx.com", "xarth.com", "twitchtv.com", "twitch.tv", "newjtv.com", "jtvnw.net", "wdtinc.com", "imapweather.com", "facebook.com", "starcrafting.com"], "streamName": "jtv_X1QRw7gJ37giCXuu", "expiration": 1345024478.9715891, "server": "video104-2"} --flv=- --live --rtmp=rtmp://199.9.253.41/app/jtv_X1QRw7gJ37giCXuu --swfsize=653157 --swfhash=19fd424b8fb10351783fb50db0c9839e79b80cefd072307c7f11052d33f6923f

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this here. Twitch servers can sometimes be slow/weird and not send video data. But retrying a few times usually works.

The commandline you pasted looks good, the reason you got that error when running manually is probably because pbs (the library I use to manage subprocesses) doesn't quote the arguments. You can try adding single quotes (') around the jtv argument if you want to see the full output of rtmpdump. You can also use -e argument to log the rtmpdump output to a temporary file, which on Windows should end up in %LOCALAPPDATA%\temp.

If it turns out it is not a Twitch server problem this bug might be the same as #17, but since I can't reproduce it I can't do much. :-/

According to the error file it's playing but not playing in VLC. It opens up to playlist and has fd://0 but doesn't play.

I did some more tests and it seems the stdin bug mentioned in the README regarding VLC 2.0.1 was also affecting version 2.0.2. Try updating to 2.0.3, it should fix the problem.

ArchUser commented 12 years ago

That did the trick! Thanks :D You should update the main page and add that 2.0.2 doesn't work also.
