I can replicate the problem on my pi by disconnecting/reconnecting my router during a download: rtmpdump hangs, with 98% usage, and has to be killed.
rtmp output: 366873.634 kB / 1121.84 sec (66.6%) ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len: 67591 htop: CPU[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||100.0%] Tasks: 128 total, 2 running Mem[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||71/186MB] Load average: 1.17 0.96 0.55 Swp[ 0/0MB] Uptime: 1 day, 21:33:03 PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 28692 pi 20 0 4560 2524 1076 R 93.0 1.3 4:35.35 rtmpdump --port 1935 --protocol 0 --playpath mp4:3200kbps/b01j8n35 The repositories (main debian and deb-multimedia) don't seem to have the latest versions of RTMPDump (v2.3) or ffmpeg. Upgrading to v2.4 from git (along with git versions of ffmpeg and get_iplayer) seems to solve the problem, as it then resumes successfully: ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header 191759.117 kB / 0.00 sec INFO: Connection timed out, trying to resume. tommy _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
