vso downloader ultimate live recording timeout

[jana]

Hi I am using the latest version of vso downloader ultimate and window 7. Everything work fine except when recording live streams the recording times out after about 7 minutes or after about 50 Mb of data being downloaded. If I reload the page it will continue as new download but will stop again after 7 minutes.
I have changed recorder timeout to 7200 seconds; max part size to 520 Mb; and buffer size to 1080kb - but it had no effect on live recording timing out.

Hello jana,

could you provide a URL of the video page?

hi LouisM,
Thank you for replay. This is a live stream from Skype that I would like to keep record of. It starts to record but times out after about 7 minutes even though the stream continues.

[LouisM]

Could you please post your log file?
You will find it in this path:
C:\ProgramData\VSO\VSO Downloader\4\log

Pick the most recent ones if you're not sure which are related to Skype recording.

here is the log file from a live video from another URL with live feed.

where it say "07:55:06.413 Info Restarting download" is where I manually restarted the download because it stopped.

The site seems to limit the access to cams to about 7 minutes. Then the connection will close, that's why the Downloader can't retrieve the stream beyond 7 minutes. You'll need to register on the site to bypass the problem.

Thank you LouisM.
