I posted this to the forum at stream-recorder but I thought I would post it here as well. I have problems with my internet connection at home. Downloads and streaming media freezes. In rtmpdump i get this error: 122967.634 kB / 719.76 sec (20.8%) ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len: 99335 INFO: Connection timed out, trying to resume. ERROR: WriteN, RTMP send error 10054 (30 bytes) ERROR: WriteN, RTMP send error 10054 (42 bytes) ERROR: Failed to resume the stream Download may be incomplete (downloaded about 20.80%), try resuming The resume always fails and then rtmpdump exits. After that I can restart rtmpdump using the -e option for resuming, and resuming the download always works. Now, I think I would be nice to have an option to able to option out the resuming that takes place right after the connection time out. It would be nicer if the program just exited immediately. The resume attempt only takes time. Regards, Mattias When I have an network error, and that happens quite often, I get an error like: "INFO: Connection timed out, trying to resume." And the resume never works. After the failed resume attempt I can restart rtmpdump using the -e option. That always works perfectly and the download continues. Now for me it would be nicer if that resume attempt isn't made. I would rather have rtmpdmp exit immediately. Maybe an option could be used to specify that no resume attempts should be made? So fellow board users, what are you're experiences with the "trying to resume"? What do you think? Regards, Mattias
