commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?

Some parts of this message have been removed.
Learn more about Nabble's security policy.
Looking for a decent tool to download with Linux
(not Windows, got tools for that) on the commandline streams (VOD) from Red5 to
emulate a single end-user.
Tried VLC, rtmpdump, gnash but can't get them to
work. I want to be able to download from commandline (no GUI whatsover) on a
Linux-box from my own beloved Red5 servers to do accurate
loadtesting.
Since the test-client for this assignment doesn't
have Red5 on it I can't use Daniel's Red5Bench.
How easy is it to construct a tool with RTMPClient
? I don't even have to nor want to save the stream to disc, actually I rather
not save it, to mimimize load on my test-client (server in a datacenter) so it
can bash my Red-Fivers even more.
In the end I want to be able to start the
commandline tool with (my own) scripts to emulate load of say 10,100, 1000
simultaneous viewers on a single, few or random amount of available
VODs.
If someone can aid me with the proper tool I'll
write some bash-scripts (or perhaps cli-based PHP, that's even easier to read
for most) and dump them here for you all to use for load-testing.
Tnx in advance,
Walter

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?
If the question he's asking is understood by me, I don't think FLEX Builder anyway, is available for Linux though I wish it was.
I have FLEX Builder Pro 3.0 with ILOG Elixr components and it only has Windows and Mac downloads.
On Adobe Labes labs.adobe.com there might be a FLEX SDK for Linux but there's no FLEX Builder that I know of (wish there was).
I also have FDT Enterprise and it's supposed to be great (and is) but I don't like it's User Interface too much.
I noticed on Adobe Labs there's Flash Builder -- what's going on with that; I hope they are not further segmenting products (Catalyst for creating Flash from Photoshop, Flash Builder for who knows what now).
Entropy is going to set it soon if they don't lessen the money mongering business model.
These are days when people are acutely aware of Greed - I think AMD's Fusion and Cinema 2.0 demo, shows that quite well, that they want to become a more collaborative company.
Anyone with any suggestions on AMD v NVIDIA cards I'd appreciate it -- this relates in as much as Video Production that is to be sent out via RED5 Ultimately (my hope anyway).
NVIDIA CUDA and OpenGL is more understood by me, AMD just released a C++ Compiler Suite that I believe is integrated with some of the products they've shown integrated at Cinema 2.0 (very impressive; but I know CUDA very well and it's a great simulation environment; I'm not a GAMER, I want to create Physics Simulations that can be applied to Real Time Video; thus Xuggle with RED5.

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?
Because you dont have X, I understood now.
Look this (I think that is what you want), a RTMPClient reading a flv
from red5 server.

Bobby, he want to make "automated" tests.
I make flex apps on linux using just ant and mxmlc.

It looks to me that Flazr [ http://flazr.com ] would be perfect for this. I just tried the following script (which can be invoked from the command line) to kick off 10 clients in parallel and it is working fine on Red5. Should be easy to tweak this to get the timing info you need.
import com.flazr.* def host = 'localhost' def app = 'oflaDemo' def playParam = 'IronMan.flv' for(i in 0..10) { def session = new RtmpSession(host, 1935, app, playParam, 'test-' + i + '.flv')
RtmpClient.connect session } I would recommend using the version in trunk as there was a System.exit(0) call that was removed recently which results in truncated downloads. I can send you a binary if you need.
Thanks, Peter.
Since the test-client for this assignment doesn't have Red5 on it I can't use Daniel's Red5Bench.

I have a need for this as well. Up to now, I've just been using
multiple instances of a generic FLV flash player (I've been using the
JWPlayer), but this won't cut it for high volume load testing.
I didn't think it would be too hard to write a dumb client using the
red5 libraries, but I have not done it yet. I will give it a go today
and let you know how it worked out.
(Actually, as I write this, it looks like Peter Thomas just sent an
example using another rtmp library, so maybe my tinkering is not
necessary)

That is correct ; you can't do a decent test of a large
production-enviroment (multiple servers) with just one client behind a thin
adsl/cable connection. It's good enough to test the functionality but
stability, cpu-load or even stress-tests are out of the question.
Currently trying to get Flazr to work. Will keep you posted.

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?
You mean Red5bench which requires Red5 itself ? Since that's not technically
an option for me, right now.

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?
Its standalone mate, its just the red5.jar. Its using the same
rtmpclient subclass I have setup for specific things as I have for the
FLVRecorder app. It will bench FMS / Red5.

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?
As I recall, the tool adobe makes, runs on linux and will load-test a live
stream.
A client of mine used it to simulate 350 viewers on a red5 app I made.
However, I cant seem to find the tool this morning.......

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?
Also, the Red5 automated systemtest framework does something similar to this (although it requires an X-server running in VNC-headless mode). It uses the flashplayer itself (on Linux that means it must run on a 32-bit os) so that we don't have to debug some other RTMP tool, and can take screen-shots of the headless flashplayer to help debug what's going wrong.
It uses some code Xuggle previously released under "theyard" open-source project and is licensed under LGPL. You can find the relevant library and code here: http://code.google.com/p/theyard/
That library builds tests, but also wraps the NetConnection and NetStream objects in fully tested state-machines to make it much easier to connect and disconnect from servers. We no longer actively work on this project, but the code may be useful to some (altough I do maintain the usage of it in the Red5 systemtest framework).

Re: commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?

Some parts of this message have been removed.
Learn more about Nabble's security policy.
rtmpdump couldn't connect to my Red5
server.
flazr.com works fine for me. It's as independent as
possible from any libaries, compilers and it's 100% commandline.
Thanks again to Peter Thomas for pointing to that
package and supplying a nice example script.
