Hello Jed :-)
Win32 user here, so can't offer much help
with regards to your Linux(-ish) installation,
but since your issue is not OS specific,
I would hazard a guess that something's
gone awry recently in your network settings...
Have you changed anything in your modem/router?
Are you behind a hardware/software firewall?
Maybe using a VPN?
Internet Security software mis-configured?
Is your Windows GiP also the latest, i.e. 2.92?
If yes, please try a download (e.g. radio) command
asking for a flashmode and add the --verbose
(or even ----debug) switch; then focus (and maybe post)
on that part of the log where rtmpdump
attempts to connect...
Default rtmpport is 1935, so it must be open
in your network.
Open in a browser this URL:
http://www.therealtimeweb.com/index.cfm/2004/10/2/fms-port-tester
If port 1935 does not pass the test,
and 443/80 do, then repeat the GiP
command by adding --rtmpport 443 (or 80).
As far as Jon Davies' suggestion goes,
in 2.92 there's a new option that allows
for a more precise way of connecting to a
particular CDN:
--exclude-supplier
In the UK, the default CDN is usually Akamai;
If your issue is, as suggested, caused
by the inability of rtmpdump to connect to a
specific CDN (you first have to explore the
rtmpports matter, then use your verbose log to
identify the problematic CDN), you can add
--exclude-supplier akamai
and let GiP try an alternate CDN, like Limelight.
I've found when downloading TV programs - don't know why it happens -
that if I use --tvmode=best, which virtually always defaults to
flashhd1, that my downloads will chug along at about 1.5Mbit/sec. If
instead I use --tvmode=flashhd2, the downloads will run at pretty much
my full connection speed of just under 15Mbit/sec.
This happens on both Linux and Windows with GiP 2.92.
Nick
