Difficulty saving a video

Mon Jul 18 06:14:33 EDT 2011

Hi,

The auth part depends on the IP address, so you can't cut and paste.

rtmpsvr requires you to directs the traffic to it.

On Debian (Linux)
I have a user rtmp, under which I run rtmpsrv. The traffic to port 1935 
is redirected using iptables -

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -m owner \! --uid-owner rtmp \
  -j REDIRECT

For mac don't have one to try this on..

sudo ipfw add 40 fwd 127.0.0.1,1935 tcp from any to any 1935
sudo ipfw add 40 fwd 127.0.0.1,1935 tcp from any to any 1935 not uid RTMP

See 
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/use-rtmpdump-rtmpsrv-mac-os-x-t7662.html

Nigel Taylor
