0x0. Introduction

This is a native client for streamate webcam websites. It works for all such websites implementing the naiad systems API.

It contains:

• RTMP client
• NetStream / NetConnection media control interfaces
• AMF, and basic AMF3 parsers
• A fair chunk of the Naiad flex application protocol
• Python interfaces to much of the above

There are:

• Python scripts for scraping details with and without login
• wmdump: C application to dump a webcam stream to FLV
• wmclient: A GTK interface to streamate sites

Compared to the flash web based client it allows you to:

• record streams directly from the wire with no re-encoding
• copy and paste from chat
• watch more than one stream simultaneously
• more?

0x1. Compilation from Source

The following command ought to do it:

$ ./configure && make

0x2. TODO list

IDL language for generating C code/structs to wrap arbitrary flex protcols? Would be pretty neat!

Support all message types:

• Handle gold show status changes
• Support pledge gold, go pvt
• Decode HTML entities, smilies in chat

AMF parsing:

• Sometimes we get shit like CR or NUL in strings (eg. roomtopic)
• Will we need more complete AMF3 parsing in practice? doesn't look like it
• Nicer way to handle NaiadCheckup calls?

wmclient:

• Tiled, video-only, mode

Windows port:

• just requires os-win32.c implementing winsock stuff

OSX port:

• Cocoa/QTKit gui, best approach?

Timestamp generation and bandwidth management:

• Use real timestamps in rtmp code, where necessary

Server and/or proxy?
