Replay Media Catcher 6 & Replay Music 7 access with screen readers

In case you are new NVDA does not handle Replay Media Catcher 6 or Replay
Music 7 user interfaces well at all and I personally do not recommend you
use it at this time. It has to do with RMC6, NVDA and the UIA. Use JAWS if
possible. If you use JAWS and focus is lost use JAWS shutdown with
insert+F4, choose ok then restart JAWS with your hotkey you set up. Mine is
ctrl+alt+j to start JAWS and focus is back for awhile until lost again.

Replay Media Catcher 6 & the ctrl+v keystroke update

Applian tech support,
The new "batch" adding of files or URLs with ctrl+v is done in the main file
listing (ie the listing of files that has been captured). The URL bar, or
the URL edit field as you call it, is meant for single URLs.

Importing file can also be accomplished with the alt+i keyboard command.
This will bring up a standard Windows interface for selecting files to be
added.

Replay Media Catcher 6 Introduction Screen

From Applian,
When installing Replay Media Catcher 6, there is an introduction screen that
mentions the various features of the software. The YES/NO does a
walk-through tutorial, pointing out the various features of Replay Media
Catcher 6. To a certain extent, this walk-though is meant for sighted users
who never bother to read the User Guide. I am not sure how well it behaves
with screen reading software.

Replay Media Catcher 6.0.0.70

From Applian tech support
There are two aspects to the new RMC6 ctrl+v usage.

First, if you have a text file with one or more URLs, each on a separate
line, you can ctrl+c to copy that listing to your Windows clipboard. Then,
in RMC6, if you have the file listing area active, using ctrl+v will paste
those URLs and queue each for downloading. With this usage, you no longer
have to paste URLs one-by-one into the URL bar. Of course, not all videos
can be grabbed this way, but it works reliably with YouTube.

The second new usage of ctrl+v is if you want to import files into RMC6. In
Windows File Explorer, find one or more files that you would like to import.
With these files selected, use ctrl+c to copy their info to the Windows
clipboard. As before, go to RMC6 and have the file listing active. Use
ctrl+v to paste the files into the RMC6 file listing. You can subsequently
convert the files.

I hope this explains the new feature.

Capture Method - Stream Downloader
RMC6 GUI in Stream Downloder mode
Replay Media Catcher 6 will detect and download video and music from
thousands of sites and streamed via many different protocols and in many
different formats.Click here for the full list of supported protocols.
Browser Independence
It does not matter what browser or other application you use to watch video
or listen to music that is streamed from the internet. This is because
Replay Media Catcher monitors the network stream for media, and once
detected will download or record the stream.
What is the Difference Between Recording and Downloading Internet Streams?
When Replay Media Catcher detects a compatible stream, it will try and
create another connection to download it. When Replay Media Catcher is
downloading, there is no need to continue to play the video or music in your
browser!
Sometimes it is not possible for Replay Media Catcher to download the media.
In these instances, Replay Media Catcher will record the stream as it plays
in your browser. When Replay Media Catcher is recording in this manner you
must continue to play the video or music in your browser. If you stop
playback, then Replay Media Catcher will also stop recording.
Replay Media Catcher displays Downloading or Recording in the Status column
of the Home tab for the respective methods. If a stream is protected and
cannot be downloaded or recorded directly, then you can use the Audio
Recorder (for audio content) or Digital Video Recorder (for video content)
Capture Methods to save the media.
Monitoring For Internet Streams with AUTO
Capture Method Stream Downloader selected You must start monitoring BEFORE
you watch or listen to media that you want to capture. First, make sure that
the capture method at the top right is set to Stream Downloader, as seen to
the right. Click on the AUTO switch before browsing to the media you want to
capture. Once clicked, the AUTO switch will turn slide right and turn green
AUTO switch in On position.
Saving Online Media with the URL Bar
You can perform manual downloads using the URL bar, found directly beneath
the AUTO switch. As the hint text suggests, you can manually type in a URL,
copy & paste a URL, or drag & drop a URL into the text field. If you already
have a URL copied to the Windows clipboard, you can also use the paste from
clipboard button clipboard button at the end of the URL field. Then click
the Enter key or press the download url buttondownload arrow button. RMC6
will visit the URL and attempt to grab streaming media from it. The final
dvr url buttonDVR button in the bar will launch a Digital Video Recording of
media at the URL (please refer to Capture Method - Digital Video Recorder
for more information).
Media Extractor - Choosing Media Quality
Oftentimes, online media will be streamed in multiple formats and qualities.
For compatible streams, RMC6 will detect the different available media
formats and give you a choice as to which to save. Expand the formats
listing and double-click on the one you want to download. The line will turn
green, indicating that the video is queued for download. If you are
interested in only saving a particular format or quality all of the time,
you can act on those preferences with the Preferred Download Quality and
Preferred Download Format options at the bottom of the window.
Multiple Streams download option
If you change you mind about preferred formats, you can reset the preference
in Settings -> Internet Downloads.
File Naming
Please refer to Settings -> Naming Rules and Advanced Settings
^ Back to top ^
Capture Method - Audio Recorder
Capture Method Audio Recorder selected Audio recording is a great way to
capture music when downloading fails. Saving audio using this method will
work, regardless of the format, protocol, or web site of the media.
First, switch to the Audio Recorder by changing the Capture Method in the
top right toolbar. The green bullseye audio recording buttonRECORD button
will appear at the top left. Once clicked, the RECORD button will turn to a
red square STOP button stop recording button, but RMC6 will be actively
monitoring for audio media. When RMC6 is actively recording audio, the VU
meter will animate at the lower left of the interface, and the recording
will be seen in the Home tab.
Audio Recording active
Splitting and Combining Recordings
While recording, you may wish to begin the creation of a new file, ending
the first, without stopping the recording process. This is easily achieved
using the Split Now scissors icon in the toolbar Split Now Icon.
Sometimes, based on the automatic silence detection settings (see
Settings -> Audio Recording and DVR), a recording might be accidentally
split into two or more files. Alternately, you may want to join multiple
files together to make a long recording. In the Home tab, simply select the
files you wish to combine, right-click and choose Combine. The Combine
window will appear. Reorder the recorded clips as appropriate by dragging
and dropping them, with the top-most item being the first. Give a name for
the combined recording, and press the Combine button.
Combine window
The Combine option can also be accessed via the Main Menu icon main menu
icon or by pressing the + key on your keyboard's number pad.
Small Interface
If you are capturing a lot of media from the internet (a playlist of songs
for instance) then you may wish to use the Small Interface by clicking small
interface iconin the toolbar. The main interface will disappear and the
Small Interface will appear. The progress of active recordings will appear
in a movable box at the lower right of the screen. You can turn off this
option in Settings -> Personalization -> "Display progress alerts when
minimized". The Small interface can be dragged to different locations, and
you can return to the Main Interface by clicking large interface icon.
Setting the Output Folder
At any time you can change the default output folder that files are saved in
by clicking media folder in the toolbar. You can also change the location
via Settings -> Output Folder.
Audio Settings and Naming (a.k.a. Tagging) Rules
Please consult the Settings sections on Audio Recording and Naming Rules.
^ Back to top ^
Capture Method - Digital Video Recorder
Capture Method Digital Video Recorder selected Videos from some streaming
websites cannot be directly downloaded or recorded using the Stream Capture
method. For these cases, Replay Media Catcher 6 has a powerful Digital Video
Recorder feature. In this mode, only one recording can be done at a time.
From the Capture Method icon in the top right toolbar, choose Digital Video
Recorder. The Digital Video Recorder feature is available on systems running
Windows Vista and above.
DVR Online Videos with the URL Bar
DVR drag and drop URL field
As with the Stream Downloader capture mode, website URLs can be drag &
dropped (or copy and pasted) into the URL Bar at the top of the RMC6
interface. Thepaste from clipboard button clipboard icon can also be used to
paste in a URL that you have copied from a web browser. Then press the dvr
url buttonDVR button to the right in the URL bar. RMC6 will go to the site
and attempt to make a recording of the video there. If the recording fails,
you may need to use our DVR Browser to specifically start the recording,
especially if login credentials are necessary.
DVR Online Videos with the DVR Browser
Replay Media Catcher 6 includes a convenient web browser for making the
digital video recording of online media easier. Additionally, some websites
require patrons to login to an account in order to watch a video. To open
the DVR Browser, click the globe icon in the toolbar DVR Browser icon. Our
DVR Browser window will open with a convenient list of popular video
streaming websites.
DVR Browser window
You can click on a thumbnail to go to the listed site, or you can enter a
URL of your own choosing in the URL field. Reopening the DVR Browser will
take you back to the last site you visited, and the DVR Browser Home button
Home button will return you to this main listing.
Once you have found a video and it is playing in the DVR Browser, click the
DVR Record button REC button. The browser window will close, and a recording
will be done in the background. In the lower left corner of the RMC6
interface, there will be a mini live view of the recording.

Note: RMC6 uses audio redirection by default, so there will be no audio. DVR
recordings are meant to be done in the background, so there will be no audio
playing in the DVR Browser or during an active recording. If you do hear
audio from the video, then our audio redirection is not locked into the
media or you have turned off the setting. Close and reopen the DV Browser.
If you want to hear the audio while a recording is taking place, turn Off
the Audio Redirection option in Settings -> DVR.
Additional options:
. Recording Duration: If you want to record for a specific amount of time,
enter the number in the DVR Record duration boxRecording Duration box at the
top right of the DVR Browser window. Recordings will then ignore the silence
detection routines (see Settings -> DVR). Be sure to include enough time for
any commercial breaks.
. Settings: Some websites open embedded windows to play their videos. In
these cases, you need to turn on the Adjust embedded player for DVR setting
via the DVR Settings Button DVR Browser Settings gear icon for recording to
occur.
DVR Automatic Silence Detection
RMC6's DVR includes methods to detect if there is silence during a
recording. This typically indicates that a video has completed or that a
commercial break has been encountered. By default, RMC6 will "split" a
recording when silence is detected - a new recording will begin. This
conveniently allows you to subsequently delete advertisements and only watch
the content you are interested in. Recordings can then be recombined into a
single video as previously described for audio recordings. The Split on
silence feature can be disabled/enabled in Settings -> DVR. Additionally, if
a longer period of silence is detected, RMC6 will completely stop the
recording under the assumption that the video has completed. This "timeout"
feature can be adjusted in Stop if no sound (sec) in Settings -> DVR. Please
refer to the Settings section of this User Guide for more information.

Guides: Exploring the Media Guides
Various Guides are available to help you find Videos, Music, Radio, and
Podcasts to download and record.
Some guides provide the ability to download and schedule downloads directly
from within the guide itself. Others require Internet monitoring or audio
recording to be switched on to capture media as it plays in the guide.
Guides that allow direct downloads can have content scheduled for download
or recording. Using the guide for Scheduling ensures correct information is
entered into the Scheduler.
guides tab view
^ Back to top ^
Schedule Recording
Replay Media Catcher contains a sophisticated scheduler, which allows you to
schedule regular and unattended downloads and/or recordings. The scheduler
takes into consideration the time zone of the source, and also handles
changes in daylight savings between the source and you. This is particularly
important for regular radio recordings.
Replay Media Catcher does not need to be running when a download or
recording is scheduled. It will automatically start using the Windows Task

Catcher folder inside your Documents folder. You can easily change to a
number of different common folders. If you have a "cloud" service installed,
RMC6 will recognize it and provide that as a save location option as well.
Links for three common cloud services are supplied if you wish to install
them.
If you want a Custom location for saving the downloaded and recorded media,
make sure the Custom radio button is selected. Then, at the bottom in the

folder navigator for choosing a location.
Internet Downloads
Internet Downloads settings
When you turn on the Auto mode for Stream Downloading, RMC6 will watch
network traffic for data that looks like media. RMC6 does this using either
the WinPcap Monitor or Applian Network Monitor driver. If you are not seeing
any media being downloaded when Auto is ON, then you may need to switch to
the other driver. WinPcap is the preferred driver due to fewer conflicts
with other software, and Network Monitor is specifically recommended for
downloading media over VPN connections.
. Network interface WinPcap will monitor: Some computers will have multiple
network interfaces. WinPcap will typically choose the correct one, but this
pulldown can be used to try other interfaces.
. Monitor HTTP/SSL: If you want to download media over HTTPS connections,
this setting needs to be ON. RMC6 will then use its proxy + certificate
system to allow for downloading from HTTPS websites.
. Dial Up/VPN Connection: Some computers may have multiple network
connections, as determined in Control Panel\Newtork and Internet\Internet
Options. If RMC6 is unable to download media when Auto is ON, you may need
to use this pulldown to see if data is passing through a different
connection.
. Concurrent Downloads: The number of simultaneous downloads before
additional requests are queued. In general, only increase this for broadband
connections > 20 Mbps.
. Minimum duration in seconds: Downloaded media smaller than this duration
are considered to be ads and are automatically deleted. Set to -1 to disable
feature.
. Preferred Download Quality: For sites that offer multiple streaming
qualities, you can have RMC6 prompt you each time for which you would like,
or you can have RMC6 automatically download the preferred quality (High,
Medium, Low).
. Preferred Download Format: For sites that offer multiple streaming file
formats, you can have RMC6 prompt you each time for which you would like, or
you can have RMC6 automatically download the preferred format (Any, flv,
mp4, 3gp, webm, mkv).
. Advanced Settings: Settings that will not normally need to be edited can
be accessed with the Advanced button. Please see Advanced Settings for more
details.
. Block the download of adverts: If ON, RMC6 will automatically ignore
streaming media from known advertisers. The list of advertiser URLs can be
found in Advanced Settings, in which you can add or delete sites.
. Start automatic detection on start: If ON, the Auto mode will be turned on
immediately when RMC6 starts.
Audio Recording
Audio Recording settings
Audio extraction program listing
. Audio recording method:
. Application: In the Application recording method, audio is directly pulled
out of running applications. The applications from which RMC6 can grab audio
are set via the Application configuration Apps button. Windows 8 users will
need to have Secure Boot disabled in their UEFI BIOS for this recording
method to work.
. Device: When Device is selected, you will be able to choose a hardware
device connected to your computer, such as Line In, from which to record
audio.
. Stereo Mix (What you hear): When Stereo Mix is chosen, all audio from your
computer will be recorded. A Buffer value will be presented, and larger
buffer values will reduce CPU load during recording.
. Output format: Choose the audio format you would like to record in.
. Bit Rate: Compressed, constant bit rate Output formats will allow you to
choose the bit rate that you would like for recording. Variable Bit Rate
(VBR) and uncompressed formats (such as WAV) do not have this option.
. Minimum duration in seconds: Recordings less that this duration are
discarded.
. Amplification Factor (Gain): Values less than 1 will decrease the volume
of the saved recording. Conversely, the saved audio can be boosted in volume
by increasing the Gain above 1.
. Peak Normalization: If ON, the recording will be processed to increase the
overall volume such that the loudest part is at 0 dBFS.
. Start audio recording on start: If ON, RMC6 will activate audio recording
when first launched.
. Prompt when a configuration issue is detected: The Application recording
method requires certain Windows Registry settings to be accurate. Sometimes,
other software such as "Cleaners" or antivirus programs will delete the RMC6
settings. If ON, RMC6 will warn you that the Registry is not configured
correctly.
. Record silence: If ON, sound that is considered silent based on the
Silence Level setting will be recorded. This is usually necessary for audio
recordings that include large breaks or gaps in the stream.
. Split on silence: If ON, when silence is detected based on the Silence
Time and Silence Level settings, RMC6 will split the current recording and
start a new file to continue recording.
. Silence Time (ms): Time, in milliseconds, for which silence needs to be
detected for Split on silence to be activated.
. Silence Level: Numbers below this level will be considered silent for the
purposes of Record silence and Split on silence.
DVR
DVR settings
. Audio Redirection: If ON, audio will not play during a DVR recording
session. If OFF, you will hear the audio as the recording takes place, and
you will need to choose an audio source in order for the video to have
embedded audio.
. Zoom in on Player: If ON, the video will be zoomed in on for recording.
This can result in a larger recording, but it also will require more CPU
power.
. Audio Codec: You can choose a specific audio codec if desired.
. Audio Format: You can choose from a wide range of audio qualities. Lower
bitrates will give smaller files and use less CPU power.
. Video Codec: You can choose a specific video codec if desired.
. Frames Per Second: Common video frame rates are available. 29.97 is the
NTSC standard. Consider reducing the Frames Per Second on older computers,
to reduce CPU load, or to reduce file size.
. Stop on Silence: If ON, the DVR will stop recording if silence is detected
for Silence Time
. Split on silence: If ON, when silence is detected based on the Silence
Time and Silence Level settings, RMC6 will split the current recording and
start a new file to continue recording.
. Prompt when a configuration issue is detected: If ON, you will be warned
if your system might have difficulty recording with the DVR. Typically this
means that Windows Desktop Composition needs to be enabled by choosing an
"Aero" desktop theme.
. Silence Check (ms): The interval, in milliseconds, to check to see if
there is silence.
. Silence Time (ms): Time, in milliseconds, for which silence needs to be
detected for Split on silence to be activated. If Stop on Silence is ON, it
is recommended to increase this number to 5000 or greater so that the
loading of advertisements does not stop a recording.
. Silence Level: Numbers below this level will be considered silent for the
purposes of Stop on Silence and Split on Silence.
. Stop if no sound (sec): The DVR recording will stop if silence is detected
for a period of time larger than this value. If you are recording from a
site that offers one show after another, you may want to increase this from
the default 30 to account for delays between loading of videos.
Naming Rules
Naming Rules settings
. Duplicate naming rule: If Replay Media Catcher 6 encounters another file
in your media folder with the same name, apply this rule to prevent
overwriting.
. ID3v2 Version: Windows operating systems don't always recognize the latest
ID3 tagging scheme, although iTunes can. If you want to view song tag
information in Windows File Explorer, reduce this number.
. Enable ID3 Naming Rule: When ON, recordings will be renamed based on the
ID3 tag information.
. Lookup and tag music: When ON, audio recordings will be checked against an
online music database for determining artist, album, song, and other
information.
. Lookup artwork: When ON, RMC6 will attempt to find appropriate album
artwork, based on the lookup rule below.
. Lookup lyrics: When ON, RMC6 will attempt to find song lyrics, based on
the lookup rule below.
Replay Media Catcher 6 uses a curly bracketed (aka braces) shorthand for
naming files. This shorthand allows for easy naming of recordings based on a
series of rules.
Track: {title} {album} {artist} {genre} {trackno} {year}
Date of the recording: {D} - day, {M} - month, {Y} - year, {H} - hour,
{MI} - minute, {S} - second
{id} - Uid, the order in which the file was downloaded in the file listing.
Clear the listing and restart to reset the Uid.
Folder Separator for creating subfolders: \
. When files are tagged, apply the following naming rule: Using the listed,
bracketed shorthand, files will be renamed based on the shorthand.
. Use application title as initial title: If ON, RMC6 will attempt to get
the title of the recording from the window of the audio source. If OFF, you
can choose an initial title.
. Artwork lookup rule: Album artwork will be searched for based on the given
shorthand.
. Lyrics lookup rule: Song lyrics will be looked up based on the given
shorthand.

So, if you wanted a tagged file to be named by album, artist, and then title
with underscores between, you might use {album}_{artist}_{title}.
If you wanted to put the tagged file into subfolders, artist first and then
album, and include the track number, you could use
{artist}\{album}\{trackno}-{title}.
If a recording is not automatically tagged, you might need to manually tag
it for the file naming rules to apply. Right-click on the recording and
choose Properties.

Converting Media Formats
On the Home tab, beneath the main toolbar, you will find the conversion
preset pulldown. conversion listing pulldown
Selecting a preset from this drop down means that any download, recording or
conversion started after the preset is changed will be converted to that
format. If you don't wish for a conversion to occur, select Don't Convert,
and you will see No Conversion Setting.
Conversions of media can either be done automatically, as mentioned above,
or on-demand. To do an on-demand conversion, choose a conversion setting and
then right-click on the media in the Home tab and select Convert.
Alternately, if the media is already selected, you can choose Convert from
the Main Menu main menu icon. If you are scheduling a recording, you can set
it up to automatically do a conversion (see Schedule for more information).
Quick Conversion to MP3
If you have a media file or files that you want to convert to MP3, you do
not need to set a global conversion setting. Simply, select the files to be
converted in the Home tab. Next, either right-click or use the Main menu to
choose Save to MP3. Your selected files will then be converted to a high
quality MP3.
Importing Media For Conversion
You may have media from other sources that you would like to convert to a
different format. First, import the media into RMC6. This can be done either
via dragging & dropping the file from Windows onto the RMC6 file listing, or
via the Main Menu Import option (Alt+i on the keyboard).
Note: Media imported into RMC6 will stay in its original location.
Conversions of the media will be saved to the same location. The imported
media will not be moved to the RMC6 Output Folder.
Then, select a conversion setting from the pulldown and choose Convert from
the right-click or Main menu.
Changing and Adding New Conversion Settings
You have full control over the preset conversion settings and can create,
delete and modify them. However as new devices and formats are released,
preset conversion settings will be updated, and these are automatically
downloaded when you start the application.
To create, delete or edit existing preset conversion settings, select the
Configure menu item from the drop-down. The Conversion Presets dialog will
appear.
conversion presets window
. Select the preset conversion setting you wish to modify from the drop-down
list at the top.
. conversion copy iconCopy button: Will prompt you for a new preset name and
create that preset. Your new conversion setting will be saved in the same
pulldown location.
. conversion save iconSave button: Will save any changes.
. conversion delete iconDelete button: Will delete the selected preset.
. conversion reset iconReset button: Will reset all presets to their default
settings.
To add a new format without deleting the default, simply click the Copy
button first, give your new format a name, then edit as you wish.
The conversion settings follow FFMPEG conventions.

Advanced Internet Downloading Settings
In general, the Advanced settings will not need to be adjusted. These
settings are accessed via the Advanced button on the Settings -> Internet
Downloads page. You need to turn Off and back On the AUTO setting for any
changes to take affect.
. Ad Blocker
Downloading ads can be annoying. Enable Ad blocking, and video ads from the
list of domains in the Ad Blocker will not be downloaded.
settings-adblock
Type in the name of an ad serving domain and press the Add button. To no
longer block a domain, select it from the listing and press the Delete
button.
. HDS
settings-hds
Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) is an adaptive streaming protocol which
means that the quality of the media displayed changes based on your internet
connection. If you are encountering many HDS streams that fail to download,
you may want to set RMC6 to record them all.

. HTTP
settings-http
. To increase the speed of HTTP downloads, Replay Media Catcher can use a
method called segmented downloading. This is where a single download is
broken to several smaller downloads (segments) and each is downloaded at the
same time.
. The speed boost obtained is dependent on your network connection, your
computer and the server streaming the video or audio.
. Here you can configure the Max number of segments for each download, and
the Minimum segment size for each segment.
. If a download is failing and you see in the Progress log that segments are
failing, change the Max number of segments to 1.
Audio and video streamed over the HTTP protocol is identified by the Content
Type. You can add and remove Content Types and the associated File
Extensions.
Reinstall FireFox HTTPS Scanner: Firefox updates sometimes delete our
certificate for downloading over HTTPS. Click Reinstall to add the
certificate again.

. Naming Rules
settings-naming-rules
. Enable the Playlist Naming Rule: Video and music players sometimes use
"playlist files" to obtain the stream(s) to play, and these can contain
title information. Replay Media Catcher will match stream URL's against any
detected playlists to see if a title can be found. This is common for music
sites (e.g. Pandora)
. Enable the Referrer Naming Rule: HTTP requests can contain what is termed
a referrer which identifies the URL of the page which made the request. If
the detected streams request contains a referrer then the title of this page
will be used as the name.
. Enable the Last Web Page Title Naming Rule: The application keeps track of
all visited HTML pages. The domain name of a stream's URL will be used to
look up the last page visited in that domain and that page title will be
used. Extended HTTP Title lookup will occur once the download is complete.
. Enable the URL Parameter Naming Rule: The stream's URL is searched for
parameters such as title= or name=. If one is found then that will be used
as the name. Extended HTTP Title lookup will occur once the download is
complete.
. Enable the URL Path Naming Rule: The file part of the stream's URL will be
used. For example http://www.applian.com/some/path/file.mp3 the name would
be file.mp3. Extended HTTP Title lookup will occur once the download is
complete.

. Page
settings-page
Some videos are available in multiple resolutions and qualities. The Video
Page Extractor can search for the multiple video options and allow you to
choose which you want to download. If you encounter a website that offers
multiple resolutions (as determined by observing multiple versions being
download in Auto mode) you can add the URL here.
Some videos are sent to your browser in multiple parts, requiring you to
watch (nearly) the entire video for the whole video to be saved. In these
cases, add the URL to the Supported Url listing, and RMC6 will attempt to
grab all the parts at once and combine them into a single file.

. Plugins
settings-plugins
Replay Media Catcher supports adding third party plug-ins like rtmpdump to
handle the downloading of streams. If Replay Media Catcher cannot download
or record a file, installing a plug-in can give it extended power.
. Protocol: Select the protocol you would like to pass to the plug-in.
. Url Match: Enter part of the URL to match.
. Executable: Enter the plug-in's executable name and place the executable
in the Replay Media Catcher installation folder.
. Parameter Wildcards: Enter the executable's parameters. Use the pattern's
URL and file as indicated on the dialog. Other parameters should be hard
coded.
Click the Add button to save.

. Ports
settings-ports
In Auto mode, RMC6 will watch the listed ports and protocols for data that
matches the HTTP media types in Advanced HTTP settings as well as HDS and
RTMP streams.
. RTMP
settings-rtmp
Live FLV streams such as webcams sometimes send incorrect timestamps. This
means the file created for the download plays back incorrectly. The
following settings allow you to control how these are fixed.
. Automatically fix live streams and those without a duration: Enable this
and such streams will be fixed.
. Rebase timestamps to zero: Enable this and all timestamps will be rebased
so the file starts at 0 time.

Some sites that stream RTMP will also try and secure it with a technology
called SWF Verification. It is illegal for our products to respond to SWF
Verification requests so we ignore them. This will cause the server
connection to then drop after a period of time. The following settings allow
you to control how these secure streams are handled.
. Automatically resume when a secure RTMP connection is dropped: Enable this
and the download will automatically restart each time the connection is
dropped.
. Automatically record when a secure RTMP stream is detected: Enable this
and the application will automatically record the stream, instead of
attempting to download it
. Always record RTMP streams (instead of downloading): Enable this and the
application will always record RTMP streams.

The RTMP protocol allows us to request the amount of data the server should
send in each chunk. Requesting a large chunk means that in many instances
the download will happen much faster than the playback speed. The following
settings allow you to control how this Super Download feature works.
. Initial client buffer size (seconds): The number of seconds of data the
server should send.
. Enable Super Download: Check to enable this feature.
. Disable RTMP Super Download for live streams: Check this to disable this
feature for live streams.
. RTMP Super Download buffer in seconds: The number of seconds of data the
server should send when attempting a Super Download.

. Site Specific
settings-site-specific
. YouTube Naming Rule: Use a special rule to accurately name YouTube
downloads
. Some sites do not allow multiple connections to them or use URL s that are
valid only the first time they are used (by your browser). Some sites use
protection technologies (including SWF Verification and other site specific
technologies) that mean it is only possible to record. We refer to them as
secure sites. Media Recorder can automatically record instead of downloading
secure sites. Add the URLs for secure sites here. During a recording, the
entire media must completely play in your browser for it to be saved by
RMC6.

. Torrent
settings-torrent
Replay Media Catcher can download torrents by clicking appropriate links on
websites. Replay Media Catcher's torrent and magnet link downloader (based
upon Aria2) is controlled via the following settings.
. Aria2 Port: The port that aria2 will listen on
. Seed Time: The number of minutes after a download is complete that it will
seed for.
. Allow Overwrite: If checked then any existing file will be overridden
. Enable DHT: Check to enable distributed hash table lookups
. DHT Entry Point: Sets the host and port as an entry point to IPv4 DHT
network.
. DHT Listen Port: Sets the UDP listening port used by DHT(IPv4, IPv6) and
UDP tracker. Multiple ports can be specified by using comas - for example:
6881,6885. You can also use hyphens to specify a range - for example:
6881-6999. Commas and hyphens can be used together.

Replay Media 6 Guides tab control tip

Still investigating this.
JAWS Users please test the following.
With RMC 6 open and maximize alt+spacebar then choose maximize
Locate the Guides tab control first with arrow keys then press tab keyboard
key one time.
Use JAWS OCR feature by pressing insert+spacebar then O then W
Use your route JAWS to PC cursor insert+numpad minus to review the screen
with your keys.
You will pick up the guides categories. Use JAWS left mouse click with
numpad / to select. Some of the entries will speak in different broad voice
which appear to be a specific item like a radio station if you choose the
radio category. When you left click a particular station like X Y Z AM as
example only you will then hear the open, download and schedule options. If
you left click the open option it will open its stream in your default
browser and will start the stream.
So this JAWS OCR makes Replay Media Catcher 6's Guides content more
accessible for JAWS users.
