RTMPDump auto-retry

[hodrabostu]

I use RTMPDump to download a large number of videos with batch commands. When a download fails, the batch file continues with the next command and I'm left with an incomplete download. How can I force RTMPDump to automatically retry failed downloads? (Win7)

[bobit]

use the --resume option

Resume an incomplete RTMP download

--resume

or

-e



put that at the end of the command like this

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file.flv" -o "filename.flv" --resume

or

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file.flv" -o "filename.flv" -e

bering in mind you can't resume a live stream

This doesn't retry files automatically.

This doesn't retry files automatically.

you can read all the rtmpdump parameters here

https://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/rtmpdump.1.html

scroll down and you will see

−−resume −e
Resume an incomplete RTMP download.

so wake up and be told

I'm not sure you understand the question.

Like I said, I'm using batch commands to download a large number of videos. Looks kinda like this:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0001.flv" -o "file0001.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0002.flv" -o "file0002.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0003.flv" -o "file0003.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0004.flv" -o "file0004.flv"
.
.
.
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0738.flv" -o "file0738.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0739.flv" -o "file0739.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0740.flv" -o "file0740.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file0741.flv" -o "file0741.flv"
.
.
.
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file4092.flv" -o "file4092.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file4094.flv" -o "file4094.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file4095.flv" -o "file4095.flv"
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/dir/file4096.flv" -o "file4096.flv"

Now when the download of a file fails for whatever reason, I want RTMPDump to immediately repeat (or resume, I don't care) that download rather than jump to the next file. The -e instruction does not do this.

I don't want to set the timeout higher since this is functionally different from restarting/resuming a download.

What are my options?

[bobit]

resume is the only option on rtmp files
there is no other option

also take note
resume does not work on live rtmp streams

−−live −v
Specify that the media is a live stream. No resuming or seeking in live streams is possible
