May I suggest you maintain a fork on some public repo ?
It'd help others taking a look at the work in progress.
Please make your own test for RTMP, a self contained test would be best. Could use red5 as a server and we already have an --enable-red5-testing configure switch setting a RED5_HOST variable for use by test generatods. See testsuite/misc-ming.all/red5test.as for an example test.

Ehhh, already spotted a bug: delta has the wrong type, it should be boost::uint32_t.  I'll work on this a bit more - if I can convince BBC iPlayer to work, it'll be the one and only test case.

Just to confuse the issue, I'm looking at changing how RTMP packet timestamps are calculated.  I've attached my work in progress, but I'm struggling to find an AVM1 RTMP site to test it with. :/

Once that's applied, the 0002 patch replaces getUptime() with getTicks().

Uhm, actually VM is in libcore, and so is VirtualClock.
Maybe we should move it to libbase instead as I think it's worth
being able to control what time the RTMP client sends to server.
For example, if you want to save an RTMP stream in full quality
you want to pretend no time elapsed since last frame fetch, or almost, so you get all frames, with no drops.

For now it seems fine to use the ClockTime.h in libbase, just for portability.

Please see libbase/ClockTime.h, use boost::uint64_t getTicks().
Even better, if it's a timer you're looking for, you should use the VM clock (VM::getClock()) so it's possible for hosting application to provide a virtual one.

On Linux 2.6, times(2) uses "429 million seconds before system boot time" as the arbitrary point in the past from which the return value counts.  This leads to the extended RTMP timestamp field always being used.  (Although most packets should be using relative timestamps anyway?)

This patch changes it to always use std::clock() except on AmigaOS, and fixes the multiplier - I'm guessing AmigaOS doesn't have std::clock(), else I would have picked that there as well.
