Okay, I'm new to this and using the Mac. I managed to figure out how to install rtmpdump and build rtmpdump GUI. Also I have installed Wireshark.

But I just don't know how to find the rtmp/rtmpe url properly from the streaming video website. Even if I string up a url, I don't know how to get it to download the video with rtmpdump GUI.

Could someone show me just one example to download one chapter from this web series, Cybergeddon (http://cybergeddon.yahoo.com) from Yahoo? Will try to figure out the rest. One good and clear example for Mac.

Thank you.

What other software do I need to install to make things easier?

Thank you, svnpenn.

Looks familiar to what I started out. Will try later.

[hulooper]

Tried.

Y! keeps changing the url. Quite hard to string them together. Follow your example closely and get this

Argh! Give up. Any software (Mac & freeware preferred) can make this easy?

I use script rtmp-host.sh

Its for Windows but could be ported to Mac pretty easily by someone who knows Bash

github.com/svnpenn/etc/blob/master/rtmp-host.sh

[hulooper]

What's that?

As you can see, I'm clueless.

Don't mind using Windows as there's BootCamp and virtualization.

Just need easy-to-use GUI software. Coding too complex for me.


BTW, when you capture the first chapter of Cybergeddon, how is it only 640x360. Unless you choose disable HD at the website.

Well if you can use Windows the program "RtmpDumpHelper" is also available, which is GUI.

However you need to understand this. Both my script and RtmpDumpHelper rely on the command line program RtmpDump. If you have specific questions about RtmpDump that is fine, but it is beyond the scope of this thread and quite possibly these forums, to teach you how to use the command line.

Thank you, svnpenn.

Found one Mac software that does the job - Jaksta (http://www.jaksta.com/download-video-for-mac/).

Trying to learn the command line for rtmpdump. Trying to figure out rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck. The difficult part is to get the rtmp urls. Think that's the part I'm stuck at.

Learn a few things with youtube videos. (http://vixy.net/)
