Stripchat is making a lot of videoclips
The videos download, but even with the newest ffmpeg it still makes a ton of mini video files, is annoying!
This is a limitation of ffmpeg.
I took a look on it and I guess SC uses the LL Extension of HLS published by Apple in 2019.
The problem with this seems - as far as I could find out and understood it correctly - that segments getting invalidated really fast. The stuff is made to be really real-time streaming. That leads ffmpeg to simply stop by default because of this. I guess because it thinks the stream is ended or has stopped when it sees to much invalidated segments. I couldn't find an option to give ffmpeg a tolerance for finally lost segments.
It seems that -re helps a bit. But this option is meant for other stuff. And it leads to total segment drops when a segment is finally invalidated.
I could get the best results with this option on a 1GBit connection which was only used for capturing. So you need this to capture SC:
- A dedicated caputring system on big internet connection with low latency
- Most recent ffmpeg
- The above option.
Then you can capture an hour or so but also from time to time ffmpeg will stop and needs to be respawned.
