Because I have been able to get GiP, and therefore rtmpdump, working on
several machines, but GFV on only the one, and that's the one that's
crashed.

On the others, when I try to install the Perl dependencies for GFV, cpan
errors, and I've never quite got to the bottom of it.

Initially, I tried to resurrect the crashed Linux build from a backup of the
failed HD, but although all the files seemed to be correctly in place, and I
reinstalled the bootloader, the restoration hung on booting, and I just
couldn't see why.  Now, I've given up and reinstalled, but I can't get cpan
to work on the new installation either.

And after all this struggle, the film is due expire within about 24 hours.
However, if I can just find the correct command-line to give rtmpdump on one
of the other units, I should be able to get it to stream the film for me.
