Rtmpdump options not in Channel Plugin Option

[bin23]

Thanks infidel, this (rtmpdump.force = true) worked. Some of the local filetypes (avi,wmv) are streaming slower now that web tv is working, but I think I can edit how those are being treated in the config for my render.

They're completely unrelated. If local files are being handled differently, it's because you made changes unrelated to web streaming.

I have also attached the PMS file for you to have a look ove

These paths are wrong, but probably harmless as yet

channels.save = C:\\Users\\revo\\Desktop\\PMS\\rtmpdump-2.3
sopcast.path = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SopCast
pplive.path = C:\\Users\\revo\\Desktop\\PMS\\rtmpdump-2.3\\Channels
channels.ch_vars = Kanal5Play.Bitrate.450,
rtmpdump.path = C:\\Users\\revo\\Desktop\\PMS\\rtmpdump-2.3\\rtmpdump.exe

Put rtmpdump 2.4 somewhere, modify 'rtmpdump.path' and see if things improve.

Thanks for the post, appreciated.

OK what am I to do with the new exe ? the existing one is in a folder along with a few other files, data folder, librtmp, I tried replacing the existing exe with the new one and left the paths the same and still the same, it's obviously not right as there's a lot of media that states "corrupt"

Thanks again

It's standalone so put it somewhere by itself (though it should work in your 2.3 folder too). If you're getting 'corrupt' errors you'll need to roll up your sleeves, set logging 'TRACE', and dig into debug.log (or the relevant plugin log) to find the error. It might be rtmpdump or it could be other things, e.g. renderer configuration.

No, of course your correct about them not being related. It turned out to be progressing settings. Now that the computer was processing the stream I had to go back and turn the throttle down on everything. I thought the problem was a bandwith problem so I max'd out all the cache and band with settings.

Thanks again.

Thanks Infidel, I will have a look tonight and see what's going on with the "Set Logging Trace" and have a flick through it.

So I'll put that exe in a folder by it's self and then change the PMS config to point to it.

I don't want to bog you down with other issues when you posted about the original error. (I did make another thread with as much detail in it as possible)

So this is the line that I have in the bottom of the config. (should it be at the top)

rtmpdump.path = C:\\Users\\revo\\Desktop\\PMS\\rtmpdump-2.3\\rtmpdump.exe (of course I'll change it to the new exe that you supplied)

It doesn't matter where it is as long as it's the only 'rtmpdump.path' entry in PMS.conf.

I will have a look tonight and see what's going on with the "Set Logging Trace" and have a flick through it.

• debug.log becomes gigantic with TRACE on, so search for 'Starting' which will take you to the points in the log that have to do with starting an external process such as rtmpdump. You'll see output messages from rtmpdump in the area below, which may or may not be enlightening .
• For rtmp streams the actual command is issued by pmsencoder, which you'll see logged in pmsencoder.log.
• Use the DbgPack plugin for quick access to these logs/confs, and to zip them up and attach them here on the forum. To keep attached logs short ('and sweet' would be going too far ) first restart PMS and immediately reproduce the error by navigating to whatever item causes it, then zip it all up.

Thanks very much for your help and the posts, it's appreciated.

I have downloaded and installed the "debug" pack, I'll get home tonight and get the rtmpdump.path to the new 2.4 exe that you showed me and then I'll fire up PMS and re-create the error, then I can zip the log and attach it if you could have a look over it then that be great.

I'll try and post as much info as possible with it (had a quick look and the plugin seems to extract all the details, hope that's all you'll need)

Thanks once again.


(I'm just wondering I do have a beast of a PC that sit's next to the revo, I might have a go at that running the PMS server and see if the problem is the same, I'm just wondering if the REVO might not be up to streaming or converting MKV files.....hmmmmm)

Thanks again for helping with the Channel plugin. It is good to have it working.
I have never, however, been able to pause channel streams. I am not certain if this is a plugin problem or not. The encoder logs look like this :

Hi,

hey infidel I've attached my log etc. maybe you could have a look at it for me some time.

Some files play and some don't, not sure why, seem to get a lot of "corrupt data" when trying to play back stuff via say for example "navi-x"

Thanks a lot.

Mo
