I have a question about integration with rtmpdump

[kiwijunglist]

I downloaded rtmpdump but it does not seem to have an installer, it looks like a standalone program. How does youtube-dl.exe know that I have rtmpdump installed, do I have to copy it to a special location or the same directory? or something else?

Thank you in advance

You have to copy it to some of the directories in your PATH, youtube-dl will look into them for rtmpdump.
To see which directories are in your PATH, run echo %PATH%, it will print a list of directories separated with commas, like:

>echo %path%
C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32\wbem;C:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\bin

You just have to copy rtmpdump.exe to one of those directories and everythin will work.
You can also move youtube-dl.exe to any of these directories, this will allow you to call youtube-dl from any directory.
