I used the following command line to record sunset for 
>90 minutes, I stopped the recording then:
$ ffmpeg -probesize 50k -i 
rtmp://170.93.143.150/rtplive/3d01ab5800f700d700437a45351f0214 
test.avi

(probesize allows you to start faster)
If it does not work for you, please provide at least the 
first 50 and the last 50 of the console output.
Which OS are you using?
