Can't play some rtmp stream: RtmpIOException about librtmp-client-for-android

[mekya]

Hi @Ryder68 ,

As this library is a wrapper of librtmp client. It mainly inherits same behaviours from librtmp. For the url you provided cannot be parsed correctly by librtmp, so we need to help librtmp to parse it correctly.

In short, to play such a url you provided, you should add the playpath variable to the url like below. Pay attention that there is a space between rtmp url and the playpath variable.

"rtmp://video.f10.bdpcdn.net/vod/mp4:Media/2017/08/09/14/cn9-809082017.mp4 playpath=/mp4:Media/2017/08/09/14/cn9-809082017.mp4"

I have tested the url above and it is playing for me. I hope it will play for you as well.

Quick Info:

playpath=path
Overrides the playpath parsed from the RTMP URL. Sometimes the rtmpdump URL parser cannot determine the correct playpath automatically, so it must be given explicitly using this option.

For more info take a look at the documentation
https://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/librtmp.3.html

I couldn't even play this url(rtmp://118.107.84.3/live/vtc11_public) with VLC.

I think we can add this parameter automatically to the url so that it will become convenient for you ;)

[Ryder68]

I understand.
Thank you so much.
Have a nice day <3

Hi @mekya
I tried adding playpath and it played well that link, although it was inconvenient.
But with this link: rtmp://118.107.84.3/live/vtc11_public
It does not seem to work.
I tried: rtmp://118.107.84.3/live/vtc11_public playpath=/vtc11_public

Tks so much! <3

@mekya Thank you so much.
If can, please add that parameter automatically in this lib.
In addition, if same as that link then playpath will look like ?
Ex:
rtmp://125.212.132.219:1935/standard/_definst_/mp4:standard_720p
=> rtmp://125.212.132.219:1935/standard/_definst_/mp4:standard_720p playpath=???

rtmp://118.107.84.3/live/vtc11_public
=> rtmp://118.107.84.3/live/vtc11_public playpath=???

@Ryder68
if I played these urls somehow with VLC or something else, I would find out the playpath

Have you played the urls you have provided in any media player?

[Ryder68]

@mekya
I played that stream in VLC on windows 7.
This is screenshot:
rtmp://125.212.132.219:1935/standard/_definst_/mp4:standard_720p

I event succeed to play on VLC in mac however it starts to play too late. It does not play smoothly either.
Anyway, I tried to play on Exoplayer. It gives an error in audio track.

08-16 09:48:07.037 27806-27806/com.google.android.exoplayer2.demo E/EventLogger: internalError [21.36, audioTrackUnderrun [61568, 320, 527]]

This error is out of scope of this library.

Let me say something about playpath, if there is a "mp4:" in the url and and the url does not finish with "mp4:..." then librtmp does not correctly parse the url and playpath should be provided.

For someone still faces this issue.
Try append to the url like this "rtmp://URL live=1"
