[rtmpdump] rtmpdump, FMS and NetStream::send issue

Mon Feb 28 17:02:13 CET 2011

Hi All,

I have a compatibility issue with rtmpdump 2.3 and fms 3.5/4.0.
The trouble is beacause of the 3 lines in ActionScript publisher my 
client uses:

--------------------
...
// publish the stream by name
nsPublish.publish(publishName.text);

// Here they are:

// add custom metadata to the stream
var metaData:Object = new Object();
metaData["description"] = "Chat using VideoChat example."
nsPublish.send("@setDataFrame", "onMetaData", metaData);

// attach the camera and microphone to the server
nsPublish.attachCamera(camera);
nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone);
...
------------

When I try to read the stream published with metadata using

rtmpdump --verbose --live -r rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/myStream -o 1.flv 

rtmpdump fails with log listed below. However, any native flash-player
plays the stream ok. 

I would like to make a patch that fixes an issue, but don't even know where to start.
It seems like FMS just closes the pipe at some moment.

Please help, any suggestions are appreciated.

Alexander.
