Would it be possible to switch to the normal broadcast instead if the mobile one?

Hmmm, tricky. I can look into it, but the way the program gathers the data has to be through the mobile version. Perhaps I can add an option to attempt a grab at the normal one.

@Asudem Do you think you could share your source code?  I would like to take a look to see if perhaps I could help with the addition of an option to grab the normal broadcast.  This is something I am very interested in.  Or perhaps there is another way I could help you if not with the coding?

i'm have an issue with the program hanging up after a day minimized to the tray.  I'll leave it, come back expecting to have a couple evenings of models i've included and find that it froze on the second night.  I need to kill it in task manager and restart it.  does anyone else have stability issues?

Yes, same problem here but not as regularly as you.  I think it might be something to do with being unable to access the internet at the moment it wants to do a scan, (or being interrupted when it's doing one), but this could just be coincidence with something else happening on my machine.

This was working fine for me until recently, now it's stopped recording anything and I can't really figure out why. The "view" function is not working either. Has this happened to anyone else? I haven't blocked it with anything as far as I'm aware

On mfc, models now have the ability to use higher video quality. (currently only available to models using the web broadcaster)

http://wiki.myfreecams.com/wiki/Mode...#Video_Options

    Low Resolution: For very old computers or very slow internet connections. No mobile feed. (Tech details 320x240 @ variable up to 1Mbps. Sorenson codec.)
    High Resolution: For medium computers or medium internet connections. Mobile feed. (Tech details: 320x240 @ 1Mbps. H.264 codec.)
    Higher Resolution: For fast computers and fast internet connections. Mobile feed. (Tech details: 800x600 @ 1.5Mbps. H.264 codec.)


from my limited testing mfcrecorder is only getting the existing 320x240 feed. The higher quality feed is available on both mobile and regular sites as verified testing with Applian Replay Media Catcher

was hoping someone else could confirm, and maybe if the forum notifications work, Asudem might give some feedback on if he's willing to update for us.

Pretty sure he took the donations and split. 

Just to be sure that people know how DC works.  Donations are donations.  We are of varying passions about the programs we put out, and of varying commitment to updating such.  But donations are not expected, nor required, to download and use most (all?) of the programs that people here put out.  We are also not, other than that passion, tied to updating anything.  And the amount of donations we get is minimal at best.

If you donate, it's because you believe in the program as it is now, and want to encourage the developers.  That's it and that's all.  Asudem, I'm sure, has his own life outside of DC.  And didn't make much on this project.  He has gone dark before, and that's his right.  And in the other cases, he's returned.  That said, if he doesn't, we thank him for his contributions.

I'd like to help out with the development of this, any chance of putting the source in a repository?

Just found this site and registered just to say that the program looks really really interesting. My sincere congrats, but for some reason i can't manage to start recording anything and i can't find the reason. I click "Record", the program creates the folder in the recordings directory, but it's always empty and the "recording" check is never marked.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Yes, you didn't read the thread

https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=42008.msg397351#msg397351

Thanks for the heads up. I've read most of the thread, but seems like i missed that one.

Now the check mark works for a moment, then it stops. No files added to the recordings folder yet. The view function doesn't work aswell. All the FFmpeg files are inside the MFCrecorder.

And you have allowed FFmpeg and FFplay through your firewall?

Yes, firewall is disabled currently. There are no programs that can be holding it back, so it must be something else. I'm on W10 atm.

Just tried it on my machine Win10Pro x64 and it worked fine, here's what your folder contents should look like:

[attachthumb=1,msg402811]
The marked files need to have internet access.

NOTE: Those are the 32bit versions of FFmpeg and FFplay, (and probably not the latest: ffmpeg version N-74593-g6638e4a).

And what should be allowed through the firewall:

[attachthumb=2,msg402811]

Settings.xml should look something like this, (model was chosen randomly):

Code: (XML)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MFCRecorder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ModelsInclude>
    <long>21562245</long>
  </ModelsInclude>
  <ModelsExclude />
  <RecordAboveCamScore>false</RecordAboveCamScore>
  <MinCamScore>0</MinCamScore>
  <HideExcluded>false</HideExcluded>
  <StartInTray>false</StartInTray>
  <UpdateTime>2016-09-30T11:46:14.4521518+10:00</UpdateTime>
  <OnlineModels>1407</OnlineModels>
</MFCRecorder>

My folder looks just like that. Same files, same with the config file. Tried with the AV off and i had no firewall on to add the exceptions, still nothing. I'm on Windows10 Pro x64 aswell. I have no clue why it's giving so much trouble.

Gonna try to find an older version of FFmpeg x32 and see if that works, mine is the newest build, or if you don't mind, send me a copy of your own folder without the recordings.

Of course, I'd like to start out by giving a big THANK YOU to Asudem, and anoncapper.

I have read the thread, from top to bottom, and I understand that there is a very small chance you'll consider updating, but please do.
There's just one minor thing.
MFC now allows stream sizes larger than 320x240, and currently mfcrecorder does not.
now, if Im doing something wrong on my end id like to apologize. Perhaps mfcrecorder does and I managed to break it.
If anyone knows a solution, please reply to me.

Indeed. I managed to make the program works thanks to an user who took the time to upload his folder for me, and it works really well. Only problem is the bitrate.

You mean resolution not bitrate - ffmpeg will capture at whatever the bitrate is that is being received.

However, to get the stream with the higher resolution requires a different URL, eg.

http://video482.myfreecams.com:1935/NxServer/mfc_121134131.f4v_aac/playlist.m3u8
http://video482.myfreecams.com:1935/NxServer/ngrp:mfc_121134131.f4v_mobile/playlist.m3u8

The first is the normal 320x240 resolution, the second is higher resolution - note the differences.

MFCRecorder doesn't search for or generate the URL for the higher resolution stream for ffmpeg/ffplay to work with.
