Cannot Record Jasmin RTMP

I used to record RTMP streams from livejasmin.com free chat and the private shows I'd paid for. A few months ago, livejasmin.com was shut down, leaving only the newer jasmin.com and new.livejasmin.com sites. I've only recently attempted to record a private at jasmin.com and discovered that Jaksta (at least with my settings) is unable to do so.

Jaksta records a second of a 'private' RTMP stream before 'Tagging' and 'Completing' the capture (I've added jasmin,com/flv to Site Specific Settings). Attempting to download a private in Jaksta terminates the show before it begins (presumably only a single request for a private stream is allowed).

On any of the pages listing performers, the exact same behaviour is exhibited when accessing free chat by hovering over a performer's thumbnail. Usually only one second is recorded (on extremely rare occasions, indefinite recording). If record RTMP is off, Jaksta is able to download free chat for as long as one hovers over the thumbnail (why does the download stop?). Thumbnails also provide an identical HTTPS stream of free chat (I now have Monitor HTTPS/SSL off).

I don't know if the two occurrences are technically identical because I don't know what to look for in the jmrp.exe.log files. I wont upload any debug logs right away in case you want me to use certain Jaksta settings or include network traces in logs etc (also, mainly using Chrome, can use Edge).

Thank you.

I can download free channels from jasmin.com here .   Infact I can close the browser tab hosting the model and JMR continues to record.  Please provide debug logs if you can't download a free stream.

When hovering over a model's thumbnail, the site is opening an RTMP stream, which if monitoring is on will be picked up and downloaded. When you move to another model the previous streams are closed by the server and the new one is opened and the same happens.  This is just how their site works.  JMR is doing what it is supposed to and picking up RTMP streams and downloading them.


I cant test private streams, but the site is streaming rtmp so if a stream closed it is because the server is cutting it off when you go private.  It may be possible to record instead of download.  

There doesn't seem to be any pattern we can use for a site specific recording as they use IP addresses and random paths for their server endpoints so you will need to switch on Always record RTMP.


Settings > Internet Downloads > Advanced > RTMP > Always record RTMP streams (instead of downloading)

I am sorry, I thought the middle part of your post was a quote of my previous (probably because it's in a box, like forum quotations), so I didn't read it.


Just to clarify, as one enters private, the free chat stream ends and a new RTMP stream begins for private. One isn't booted with record on yet the record fails after a second or so.

I would be grateful if you could look over a log. Would you want a low level debug log?

By the way, when downloading RTMP from a thumbnail, the download terminates when the cursor is merely moved away, not over another performer (it's not a case of download limitations). That's why I'm curious as to why it doesn't download indefinitely.

As I said in my reply, I can't test private chats. 


If you would like me to look at your debug logs then please ensure Settings > Internet Downloads > Advanced > RTMP > Always record RTMP streams (instead of downloading) is on and then follow the instructions here: https://support.jaksta.com/discussions/topics/6000009063

I see, thanks. What threw me was sometimes RTMP previews would continue to download until 'Stopped Manually' in Jaksta but I guess they were server side 'anomalies' (as opposed to the one second RTMP recordings being Jaksta's 'error').

 

With 'Always record RTMP streams (instead of downloading)' and Debug Mode on, I twice tried and failed to enter a private. It's as if record didn't work, Jaksta requested second downloads of the stream and I got booted. After adding jasmin.com to Site Specific settings, Jaksta managed to record one second of private. Please see logs attached.

Adding jasmin.com to Site Specific settings wont do anything as mentioned previously as jasmin.com uses IP addresses in their urls not domain names.

So this is what I see in your logs happening:

At 19:16:10: Model KatyaFox, secure stream with AlwaysRecordRtmp set to on.  

Stream is from rtmp://109.71.162.194:1935/tvchannel<break>katyafoxxx.free.21597744d4cfb88aa3c3c43e84f73215, 

Recording starts and contrinues for about 4 seconds (~784 KB).  The server then closes the connection, and recording stops.

At 19:16:18, You then play it with VLC and then delete the file to your recycle bin.

At 19:17:02 a new connection for KatyaFox is created this time to


rtmp://109.71.162.27/memberChat/jasminKatyaFoxxx3b730056889b6ebbc077f781536a9ffa


Looks like private session


Afew seconds later at 19:17:14,225 a closeConnection message from the server is then received and the connection is closed at the network level by the server.


Another connection is made this time to


rtmp://109.71.162.194:1935/tvchannel<break>katyafoxxx.free.21597744d4cfb88aa3c3c43e84f73215


I would assume is the free channel again


Recording starts again at 19:17:14,788 and continues to 19:17:22,694 (1.41 MB)


The server then sends a network fin and reset, so the recording is closed.


You then play the file with vlc @ 19:17:25,224, and delete it at 19:17:29,248


Another rtmp connection is then started at 19:17:33,351


This one is for rtmp://109.71.162.27/memberChat/jasminKatyaFoxxx3b730056889b6ebbc077f781536a9ffa<break>privstreams/clonedPrivateLiveStream


Looks like private again


Recording then starts again at 19:17:50,694 till 19:17:53,721 (1 MB) when a NetStream.Play.Stop for privstreams/clonedPrivateLiveStream is received from the server and the recording is closed.


Data continues to arrive up until you collect the logs @ 19:18:05,186 bu the recording is closed so ignored.


Not sure why a server would send a NetStream.Play.Stop when infact it is not stopping.  You can see the packet in the log file jmrp.exe.log.1 processed between 19:17:53,721 and 19:17:53,726

Took a new recording, this time with default settings except for 'Always record RTMP streams (instead of downloading)' switched on. It recorded the first two seconds. Any ideas?

Your getting a NetStream.Play.Stop from the server so the recording is closed.  Your not closing the hosting page are you?  When recording you need to keep the network stream you need to keep it playing in your browser so there is something to record.

Also does the file you recorded playback or does it jump around?  Looks like there might be two streams playing at the same time as you go from free to private and both are going into the same file.

"You're* getting a NetStream.Play.Stop from the server so the recording is closed.  You're* not closing the hosting page are you?"

I suspect the NetStream.Play.Stop is due to me closing the tab. I only went private to generate a log so I closed the tab a few seconds after Jaksta stopped recording. I don't fully understand the logs so only you can identify when the recording stopped as opposed to when the stream was terminated.

"Also does the file you recorded playback or does it jump around?  Looks like there might be two streams playing at the same time as you go from free to private and both are going into the same file."


The image is fuzzy but in my experience it usually is at the beginning of a Jasmin flv recording. Since it's only two seconds long, there's no way of knowing whether the picture would have cleared up. Just to be clear, the performer was already in private when I opened her page, so there was no free chat before I entered the private already in session.


Without knowing how these things work, I already wondered whether there could be two streams. The first being the one Jaksta records for one-two seconds before the server terminates it.

Actually, looking at the beginning of past Jasmin captures, the artefacts in this recording are totally different and far worse. The image jumps around with tearing and blurring in places but the video itself plays smoothly.

Ok so Ive made some changes to try and support this

http://jaksta.s3.amazonaws.com/release/jak6/JMR6/6.0.1.55/JMR6-6.0.1.55.exe

This probably wont work first time as Im only going off the behaviour in your logs and dont have anything to test it against, so could you please download and install this and then provide your debug logs as you go into a private just as you have done previously.

Thanks.

RTMP stream was already open before debug was switched on.

Please start AUTO and then go to the private model's page (or refresh the page).  This was all details of the stream will be recorded.

Thanks

Now, when I attempt to enter a private in session, I get the notification telling me the performer has gone offline when she hasn't. This happens when Jaksta is set to download rather than record, their servers refusing me entry due to Jaksta requesting a second stream. I assume this didn't happen to me earlier due to already being on the performer's page before opening Jaksta and entering private.


Just tried to enter private again but with 'Monitor HTTPS/SSL' off and I succeeded. It recorded under a second. Please see attached log.

'Always record RTMP streams' and AUTO have always been on at start (and recently 'Monitor HTTPS/SSL' off) alongside default settings.


Tried and was refused entry to two private shows (said they had gone offline which was untrue). Double checked that 'Always record RTMP streams' was on and other settings.

I wondered whether updating Jaksta affected my settings so I reset it and turned 'Always record RTMP streams' back on again (as-well as Monitor HTTPS/SSL' off) and have since been allowed entry into a private show. It recorded two RTMP streams from a single show, both under a second long.

Tried two privates with some success. The first private yielded two captures, the first being a successful recording, the second, a capture of under a second (similar to previous failures). The second private resulted in a capture with a fuzzy image and an echo (as if two streams merged) plus another entry with 'Errors' (13 bytes).

There are two streams within the same connection which is unusual - never seen it in the 6 years. The first goes for about a second and then stops.  Because the first stream stops the second stream was never processed.  That is what we are trying to implement here - support for capturing that second stream.

So the first stream stopping is what we expect.  The second should keep recording until you stop it.  

That is what your latest logs appear to show. (looks like you closed the browser) after about 12 seconds.  No sign of any error in the logs and second stream looks to be recorded fine as we would expect.

You may want to try switching off Auto fixing and rebasing in the Settings > Internet Downloads > RTMP for any that are fuzzy.

If still not working, perhaps provide logs for a stream that is fuzzy along with the file.  capture a minute if you can, 12 seconds sometimes isnt log enough for the cam to settle down.

I've experimented with settings and having just 'Automatically fix RTMP live streams and those without a duration' off produces near perfect captures. The only error being duration (videos are shorter than stated) but 'Fix FLV/Fix Duration' can correct that.

Having Rebase RTMP timestamps to zero' off as-well sometimes produces videos with grossly incorrect durations (by minutes) that 'Fix FLV' cannot repair. Not recommend for anyone reading this.

Thanks for spending your time on this. I didn't try many private shows during recent testing but hopefully results are indicative of future attempts. Obviously I'll let you know if something crops up. Thanks again,
