Function to save rtmp stream to local flv? - verbal - 2013-03-07
Hi
As part of an XBMC addon I am trying to write, I am looking to develop a function that saves a rtmp stream to a local flv file.
If my understanding is correct, there is an rtmpdump packaged with XBMC which can be invoked by the xbmc.Player.play(). Is there a way to get it to save the output to a local file instead of sending it to the player? I tried passing in "flv" option to the player in addition to playpath/swfUrl/pageUrl but from the xbmc log, that is not a supported option.
Is there a way to access the rtmpdump packaged with XBMC via python API?
Thanks in advance
