rtmpdump check status by command line

Question

I tried doing rtmpdump -r "rtmp-raw=rtmpe://watch.playfooty.tv/live playpath=nba1569 swfUrl=http://www.playfooty.tv/play/player/player.swf live=1 pageUrl=http://www.playfooty.tv/" But the output it´s like offline always

I tried a lot of links of a list and seems offline with this command, but When I play it in a software it worked.

Does anyone have an idea how to test if this kind of links are alive or die?

Thanks!

Answer 1

rtmpdump -i "rtmpe://watch.playfooty.tv/live playpath=nba1569 swfUrl=http://www.playfooty.tv/play/player/player.swf live=1 pageUrl=http://www.playfooty.tv/"

Admittedly the online documentation on RtmpDump is pretty poor, however it is listed in the command line help

--url|-i url   URL with options included
               (e.g. rtmp://host[:port]/path swfUrl=url tcUrl=url)
