I am trying to download this video

http://www.spike.com/full-episodes/7kownd/gttv-tiberium-exlusive-first-look-season-1-ep-101

here is a more direct link to the video content


http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.2.10.16.swf?uri=mgid:arc:episode: spike.com:ae361ba0-c0ad-4537-a3ba-c0e59ce0ea93&type=network&ref=www.spike.com&geo=US&group=entertainment&network=None&device=Other&networkConnectionType=None&CONFIG_URL=http%3a%2f%2fmedia.mtvnservices.com%2fp mt-arc%2fe1%2fplayers%2fmgid%3aarc%3aepisode%3aspike. com%3a%2fcontext4%2fcontext5%2fconfig.xml%3furi%3d mgid%3aarc%3aepisode%3aspike.com%3aae361ba0-c0ad-4537-a3ba-c0e59ce0ea93%26type%3dnetwork%26ref%3dwww.spike.co m%26geo%3dUS%26group%3dentertainment%26network%3dN one%26device%3dOther%26networkConnectionType%3dNon e


further analysis on it i found this kind of playlist file link


http://media-utils.mtvnservices.com/services/MediaGenerator/mgid:arc:episode:spike.com:f26dd30c-f3a1-49d3-9013-90275f1ea0d3


which in turn links directly to the flv file


rtmpe://viacomspikestrmfs.fplive.net/viacomspikestrm/gsp.spikecomstor/contentstore/media/2/9/3/6/0/2936084_1200.flv


Now my issue is if i try to access that file in my browser i get the following error


ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the requested URL the following error was encountered:

Invalid Hostname

Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

Name is unknown

Footprint 4.8/FPMCP


So I tried tmpdump-2.4-2013-12-22 with the following command


rtmpdump.exe -r rtmpe://viacomspikestrmfs.fplive.net/viacomspikestrm/gsp.spikecomstor/contentstore/media/2/9/3/6/0/2936083_1200.flv -o test.flv


which gives the following error


RTMPDump v2.4 GIT-2013-12-05 (Compiled by KSV)
(c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL
Connecting ...
WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 9
INFO: Connected...
ERROR: rtmp server sent error
ERROR: rtmp server requested close


From googling I understand the error to by a Type 9 RTMPE handshake and rtmpdump only supporting Type 6 RTMPE handshakes although I also read on these forums that Type 9 handshakes were supported as of rtmpdump version 2.4.

So can anyone help or tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is there an easier way to download these videos now? it's an 8 year old video so I imagine the protection it was using has been broken by now?

Thanks in Advance for any and all help
