rtmpdump

=============

### A streamable wrapper around the rtmpdump CLI

This module is a thin wrapper around the `rtmpdump` binary. It provides 

a readable stream you can pipe to your heart's content.

The `rtmpdump` binary must be installed on your system.

The options are those used by `rtmpdump`, both short and long options are supported (see example).

`$ rtmpdump --help` to list them all.

Installation

------------

``` bash

$ npm install rtmpdump

```

Example

-------

``` javascript

var rtmpdump = require('rtmpdump');

var fs = require('fs');

var options = {

  rtmp: 'rtmp://host.tld/app/path',

  playpath: 'mp4:playpath',

  pageUrl: 'http://host.tld/somepage.html',

  swfVfy: 'http://host.tld/player.swf',

  v: null // parameter-less command line switches must have null as a value

};

var stream = rtmpdump.createStream(options);

stream.on('connected', function(info) {

  // info provides various details about the stream

  // duration, resolution, codecs, ...

  console.log(info);

});

stream.on('progress', function(kbytes, elapsed, percent) {

  console.log('%s kbytes read, %s secs elapsed, %s%%', kbytes, elapsed, percent);

});

stream.on('error', function(err) {

  // as usual, unhandled error events will throw

  console.log(err);

  process.exit(1);

});

stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('video.mp4'));

```
