[Stream Recorder]

TubeMaster++ (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/TubeMaster-freeware-open-source-stream-recorder-with-RTMP-support-Windows-Linux-MacOS.htm) is a GUI application for Linux/Windows/Mac OS that allows to download RTMP and HTTP streams. Requires Java.

First of all download TubeMaster++ for Linux (Red Hat, Debian, Mandrake)
- Tested on Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 (Debian).
- Tested on Fedora 11 (Red Hat).
- Tested on Mandriva 2009 (Mandrake).
Filename : tm++.linux.tar.gz (http://www.tubemaster.net/download/tm++.linux.tar.gz) (MD5 Checksum : 633ad3e372ff8d6504ad05547b094115).
Version : 1.5

How to install TubeMaster++ in Linux:

Download & Install Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE). (32Bits, NOT x64!) I used Ubuntu Software Center to install JRE.
Download & Install Java SE Development Kit (JDK). (32Bits, NOT x64!). I used Ubuntu Software Center to install Open JDK.
Download & Install LibPcap (Installed by Default). I used Synaptic packet manager to make sure LibPcap is installed in my Ubuntu 9.10 (Synaptic allows you to install and remove package)
Download & Install JPcap Library (http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/download.html). I download the .deb package, opened it in the default package manager and installed it.
Make sure that "libjpcap.so" is in the "/usr/lib" directory
Download & Install FFMpeg with FFPlay. I typed the following in Terminal to install them in Ubuntu 9.10:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-52
Unpack tm++.linux.tar.gz (you can use tar -xvf tm++.linux.tar.gz in the Terminal)
Set the execute-flag for tm++.sh:
chmod +X tm++.sh
Otherwise you will get the" tm++.sh: command not found" error.


How to use TubeMaster in Linux:

Run tm++.sh (you must have root rights):
sudo ./tm++.sh
Open your browser and navigate to a web-page you would like to record from. Play an online audio/video stream.

Hi.

I am unsure as to how to do this portion of the above instructions:

Unpack tm++.linux.tar.gz (you can use tar -xvf tm++.linux.tar.gz in the Terminal)
Set the execute-flag for tm++.sh:
chmod +X tm++.sh
Otherwise you will get the" tm++.sh: command not found" error.
[/list]

How to use TubeMaster in Linux:

Run tm++.sh (you must have root rights):
sudo ./tm++.sh
Open your browser and navigate to a web-page you would like to record from. Play an online audio/video stream.


BTW. I'm using 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10.

Thank you.

Open the terminal and go to the directory where you have saved "tm++.tar.gz". Then try to unpack using tar. Then go to the directory with tm++.sh and run "chmod +X tm++.sh". Then you can run TubeMaster using "sudo ./tm++.sh".

Thank you for your prompt reply.

How do I use Terminal go to the directory which holds tm++.sh?

Can I just drag said directory into the Terminal window to enter the required path?

Thanks again.

Open the terminal and go to the directory where you have saved "tm++.tar.gz". Then try to unpack using tar. Then go to the directory with tm++.sh and run "chmod +X tm++.sh". Then you can run TubeMaster using "sudo ./tm++.sh".

I unpacked tm++.linux.tar.gz. Doing so resulted in a folder named TubeMaster++.

In said folder were the following items:

- a folder named lang
- a document named Install *HowTo.txt
- and a .jar archive named tm++.jar

These wasn't anything named tm++.sh

I then ran and got the following results in Terminal:

p4@ubuntu:~$ cd TubeMaster++
p4@ubuntu:~/TubeMaster++$ chmod +X tm++.sh
chmod: cannot access `tm++.sh': No such file or directory
p4@ubuntu:~/TubeMaster++$

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

*The last part of the instructions in this document are:

"=----- (2) -> Once all System Requirements are installed go to TubeMaster++ folder.
=----- (3) -> Run tm++.jar (You must be ROOT !).
=----- (4) -> If you have any questions, suggestions, or if you find some bugs, please contact me at : ggsofts[at]gmail.com"

How would one run Run tm++.jar and do so as root?

I've e-mailed this ^ question to ggsofts[at]gmail.com as well.

[Stream Recorder]

You're right. There is no tm++.sh in the latest version and you don't need to use chmod.

Just run tm++.sh as an admin, for example:
sudo ./tm++.sh

Here's the e-mail I sent...

Hi.

I'm attempting to install and run TubeMaster++ under 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 but I've hit a snag.

The last part of your instructions are:

"=----- (2) -> Once all System Requirements are installed go to TubeMaster++ folder.
=----- (3) -> Run tm++.jar (You must be ROOT !).
=----- (4) -> If you have any questions, suggestions, or if you find some bugs, please contact me at : ggsofts[at]gmail.com"

Via a step-by-step explanation, how would one run Run tm++.jar and do so as root?

BTW. I'll post your reply in this thread:

How to install and use TubeMaster++ in Linux (like Ubuntu 9.10) to record streaming
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/install-and-use-tubemaster-linux-like-ubuntu-p23384.html#post23384

Thank you.

...And the reply I've just received:

"Hello,

The .sh script was replaced by the JAR archive.
So you can try to run it with "./tm++.jar" or "java -jar tm++.jar" (AS ROOT).

Regards,

GgSofts."

--------

So using the root Terminal I tried this...

root@ubuntu:/home/p4# cd TubeMaster++
root@ubuntu:/home/p4/TubeMaster++# ./tm++.jar

You need to navigate to the directory where tm++.jar is first.

Try to ask the developer about the other errors.

[MIJ-VI]

I've e-mailed GgSofts a link to this thread.

[MIJ-VI]

I've received the following reply...

"Hello,

hmm it seems you have a permission problem. The "null" value youe see is the system doesn't want to give the current directory for some obscure permission reason.
I joined a new JAR file to this email, can you replace your tm++.jar by this one and tell me what happen ?"

...and I tried the new tm++.jar file which GgSofts just sent me as an e-mail attachment after first checking for its executable bit and seeing this...

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1234.snc4/156666_467388441385_660216385_6203298_4716370_n.jp g

...and then getting this Terminal output:

p4@ubuntu:~$ cd TubeMaster++
p4@ubuntu:~/TubeMaster++$ sudo ./tm++.jar
sudo: ./tm++.jar: command not found

OK then. I've just read another e-mail from GgSofts...

"Hello,

Ok i understand what is happening, an exception is thrown just before we can write the error log. I need you to test
this new joined JAR archive and run it. Tell me what is displayed in your console. Thanks."

...and I downloaded the latest tm++.jar file he included as an e-mail attachment, put it into its TubeMaster++ folder, and after discovering that its executable bit was set like this...

EDIT:

I've just tried to capture what I believe to be an RTMP video stream (from cam4) via Firefox 3.6.12 but I don't know what I should click on in Firefox to initiate said capture.

As well, said RTMP video stream is not being automatically and temporarily cached in /tmp like regular streamed .flv files usually are.

RTMP streams are not cached.

Note that you can use rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv in Linux. See rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm) for more.

Unfortunately these instructions...

...are replete with the hieroglyphic-Water-Buffalo-Lodge-secret-handshake-some-assembly-required-and-good-luck-with-that-Jack-command-line-convolutions which characterize the use of GNU/Linux at seemingly every other turn. :(

rtmpdump needs a GUI.
