CBSNews ERROR: rtmpdump exited with code 1

[RingoTheDog]

If I try this enough times it will occasionally work (one out of five-ish?)
I think this might be more of RTMP issue, than a CBSNews issue...but here is an example of a failure:

FWIW...if I set it to -f RtmpMobileLow it will work better, but if I set to -f best seems to fail like above

Thanks

I doubt it's due to out-dated rtmpdmp. Could your compile the latest rtmpdump (git commit fa8646daeb19dfd12c181f7d19de708d623704c0 on 2015/12/24) and try again?

[remitamine]

the link looks wrong: rtmp://cp98363.edgefcs.net/ondemand/?auth=cbs&aifp=v001&slist={slistPrefix}{break}{slistFilePath}media/2016/01/18/603481155885/0117_60Min_SeanPenn2016_483916_796.mp4{slistFilePath}{manifest:f4m}http://cbsnews-vh.akamaihd.net/z/{slist::true:false}.csmil/manifest.f4m{manifest:m3u}http://cbsnews-vh.akamaihd.net/i/{slist::true:false}.csmil/master.m3u8{manifest})
and the flashplayer also http://www.cbsnews.com/[[IMPORT]]/vidtech.cbsinteractive.com/player/3_3_0/CBSI_PLAYER_HD.swf

i think i will open a PR to fix this problem(#8295 (comment)) so i can extract better formats and metadata and fix the problem here 220ee33#commitcomment-15629846.

[remitamine]

i created i PR #8328 to fix the first problem.
if it's accepted, i will continue to fix the second problem.

[remitamine]

this will be fixed in the next version.

AMAZING!
Thank you......
