Hi,
I'm trying to get some BBC streams to work. I found an XML file for the streams: this is an example for BBC1:
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/vpid/bbc_one_london/mediaset/pc/atk/78ca5063d64bb5b308d1d87f737b610aa2db0f3f/asn/1/

(You will be geoblocked if you don't have a UK IP).

When I connect to a VPN and try to play any of the rtmp streams, I get the following error:
ERROR: RTMP_Connect0, failed to connect socket. 10060 (Unknown error)

So the question is basically is there a way to use a VPN with rtmpdump?

Thanks!

I have now tried with a SOCKS4 proxy:
87.236.211.107:1080
but it gave me the same error :confused:

Me neither :/. But I've tried before and I have never managed to connect to an rtmp server with rtmpdump while using a VPN :(.
