Any way to cap from xhamsterlive.com?

[Elgero]

Hi, I'm still around. Sorry for disappearing for a year, but I got a new job, had to move and was too busy to work on tools or even doing any recording.

I can write a small commandline tool if the site uses hls, but I'm not really bothering with rtmp anymore, unless absolutely necessary. Rtmp/flash is dying (Adobe will drop support in 2020) and has been disabled by default on all major browsers.

I already looked into this a few days ago and with my tablet I got an url to a m3u8 playlist. Unfortunately I didn't really pay attention to the url and no matter which useragent I try now, it never gives me the url to a m3u8 playlist anymore. Perhaps they changed something in the past few days, but if the m3u8 playlist is still available and someone can give me an example url, then creating an unattended download tool is pretty easy.

the great news is that you're still here Elgero! great thing!

Thanks!



Here's a quick and dirty rtmp downloader. It requires .NET Framework 4.7. Source code is included.
For some reason it won't download a model named KenzieDawton, not sure why. I can't be bothered to debug with Wireshark.

thanks a lot! you're the best Elgero!
Hope you're still around with the other projects too, we definitely need a great program creator, and sharer, as you!
thanks again

I did a cap of exactly one minute (FILE A) and the run time is set at 383 hours, 44 minutes, and 20 seconds. I've had this same problem on a few other XH caps. Is there anything I can do to restore the file to the actual run time? I've already toyed with FLV Extract and it didn't help anything. FLV Extract gives me this error.

Unable to extract audio (format=7 is unsupported)

I'm left with a text file for the timestamp and a .264 file. Video converters don't help either since they attempt to match the broken runtime.

____________________________________________

Little more info, I made another cap (FILE B) and tried to combine the two caps (FILES A & B) with FLV Joiner. When I add the files to the program, it gives this error message.

Couldn't find 'duration' metadata in: fileA.flv
Retrieving from last Timestamp instead

I go through with the merge and see this.

Couldn't find 'duration' metadata in the first file.
Some players may have problems without this
Create a new metadata section?

So, I give that a shot. The files combine (FILE AB), but the combined file run time becomes 767 hours, 37 minutes, and 40 seconds. Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this?

You can check video stream recorder tool to capture. I'm not sure about exact tool name but there are many you can find on web.

If you got problems with broken FLV headers timestamps then use ffmpeg to fix it.

ffmpeg -i YOURVIDEO -vcodec copy -acodec copy VIDEO_OUTPUT

I haven't finished all the videos that need fixing but so far, it seems like this works fine. Thank you for this. Also, just in case anyone might have issues on Windows, this is the exact input you should be looking for. You should also copy ffmpeg somewhere other than the Windows folder, if you try this method while ffmpeg is in the Windows folder, you'll receive a write permission error. I just made a new folder under C:\ and added ffmpeg and my video files to it.

ffmpeg -i C:\filelocation\fileA.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy OUTPUT.flv

- - - One last edit to say I'm done converting. One or two caps seemed to receive errors during the process, but now that everything is done, the files have their original runtimes again.
