but why not?! :)
it would be so easy to schedule live events. now i gotta wait for the stream to begin to start flvstreamer :(

It behaves as followed now:

if i record a stream with -v 10 and then stop the encoder (so flvstreamer isnt getting any data) it stops immediatly and doesnt wait 10 sec.

If i start flvstreamer with -v 10 and no encoder is sending, it times out after 10 seconds correctly.

When i start flvstreamer before starting the encoding, flvstreamer is still not recognizing incoming data. This is the most annoying thing to schedule live events. If i could just start flvstreamer and it automatically starts when data is incoming, it would be perfect. This worked in v1.8.

hey,

if i specify the timeout option with some value, lets say 10 sec, it doesnt do what i expect it to do, timing out and exiting. Instead it tries every $timeout seconds to resume the stream.

I started recording with
./flvstreamer -vV --timeout 10 -r rtmp://cp12345.live.edgefcs.net/live/dasdasd@12345 --stop 120 -o /space/test.flv

Above you see it recording the stream correctly. then i stopped the encoding and you see it looping every 10 seconds trying to resume. If i would specify timeout 40 it would loop every 40 seconds.

The other way around is also buggy. If i start recording while the streams is not sending data, it waits for recording. When i start encoding and sending data, flvstreamer doesnt recognize that and is not recording. This makes recording of live events very difficult because it expects data to be on the line when starting flvstreamer. In earlier Versions this worked fine. So i could just start flvstreamer whith "at" some time i want and let it record when the encoder starts.
