Bug#687227: crtmpserver fails to relay a live stream

[Ivan Shmakov]

Package: crtmpserver
Version: 1.0~dfsg-3

	I'm loosely following an example in [1], trying to set up
	crtmpserver to relay a live stream.

	The stream is fed via avconv(1), like:

$ avconv \
      -f x11grab -s cif -r 5 -i :0 \
      -f flv -metadata streamName=livestream tcp://127.0.0.1:6666/ 

	Which is apparently accepted by crtmpserver.

	However, when I try to use VLC to retrieve this stream, the
	latter fails:

$ cvlc rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream 
VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)
[0x1e201f8] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
Using network protocols without global network initialization. Please use avformat_network_init(), this will become mandatory later.
HandShake: client signature does not match!
rtmp server sent error
RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
[0x1e3ba38] access_avio access error: Failed to open rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream: Operation not permitted
[0x202c5d8] main input error: open of `rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream' failed
[0x202c5d8] main input error: Your input can't be opened
[0x202c5d8] main input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/livestream'. Check the log for details.

	The relevant crtmpserver log fragments are MIME'd.  (Somehow,
	I'd expect that TryLinkToLiveStream to be mentioned there just
	as well, but only TryLinkToFileStream actually shows up.)

	Any suggestions?

	TIA.
