Frequently Asked Questions
What is RTMP Recording and Downloading?
Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a commonly used protocol (developed by Adobe Systems - the makers of Flash and PDF) to stream video and music from websites. This protocol is used by sites such as Hulu.com and most of the webcam sites (cam4.com etc).
Jaksta will detect videos and music streamed over RTMP and try to create another connection to download it. If Jaksta can download the stream then there is no need to continue playing the stream in your browser.
Several websites however use technology that secures the stream and Jaksta can not download it. In these cases Jaksta will detect the stream is secured and begin to record it as it plays in your browser. See SWF Verification for further details. Jaksta contains settings (See Tools > Settings) where you can specifiy that all RTMP streams should be recorded instead of downloaded. This can be useful if you want to watch a video whilst you record it.
Jaksta displays whether it is downloading or recording RTMP next to the streams progress.
