I'm following this tutorial (http://blog.rogeriopvl.com/archives/playing-rtmp-streaming-on-mac-with-vlc-and-rtmpdump/) to open, stream, and save a RTMP stream.

Whenever I put this in

rtmpdump -r rtmp://foobar/live/stream --quiet | /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -


Other streams I have tried:
rtmp://93.174.95.125:1935/edge/_definst_/q49uyvij145wcky
rtmp://93.174.95.125:1935/edge/_definst_/nz7l9vc5nv1og7b


Terminal says:

[0x10022b130] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x1003801d0] main stream error: cannot pre fill buffer


I'm using a Mac OS X Yosemite and VLC is Version 2.1.5 Rincewind (Intel 64bit)

i'm not an expert with Mac OS but i think your code is not sufficient
you have just -r option
on windows or linux we often need -p -y -W .... as options. so I think it's the same on mac
can you post link to web-page with streaming video

Thank you for replying! I'm trying to get a CBS livestream in HD. This is the site (http://www.tvonlinestreams.com/added-today-hd/) which had a few RTMP streams I tried.

I think this is a list that we could open it with VLC directly. (open media url)
but I think they are out of date

I have tried to open in VLC directly and it all says "Video cannot open." Any idea one good stream I can test it with?

EDIT: rtmp://rtmp.zerocast.tv:1935/live/ does this work for you in VLC directly?

vlc directly i don't know but you can try

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://rtmp.myhdcast.com/redirect/" -a "redirect/" -W "http://cdn.zerocast.tv/player/jwplayer.flash.swf" -p "http://00cast.com/embed.php?a=338&id=&width=658&height=430&autostart=true&strech=" -y "Ger61uLQ4fedzvjRjrB7" -T "OOG17t.x#K9Vh#|" --quiet - | /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -

what version of rtmpdump you use?
Perhaps it's an older version?

if you try this code in terminal without --quiet option
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://rtmp.myhdcast.com/redirect/" -a "redirect/" -W "http://cdn.zerocast.tv/player/jwplayer.flash.swf" -p "http://00cast.com/embed.php?a=338&id=&width=658&height=430&autostart=true&strech=" -y "Ger61uLQ4fedzvjRjrB7" -T "OOG17t.x#K9Vh#|" - | /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -
rtmpdump said what?

[biezom]

if you have livestreamer you can try

livestreamer "rtmp://rtmp.myhdcast.com/redirect/Ger61uLQ4fedzvjRjrB7 swfVfy=http://cdn.zerocast.tv/player/jwplayer.flash.swf token=OOG17t.x#K9Vh#| pageUrl=http://00cast.com/embed.php?a=338&id=&width=658&height=430&autostart=true&strech=" best

I have the worst luck :(

I just installed it. The latest one.

I just tried
livestreamer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Pw3ofFWgs best

and it opens up on VLC fine. I wonder if it is a problem with the streams :(

sorry you need a most recent version of rtmpdump for this code, but i think this one works for you
livestreamer "rtmpe://46.246.29.154:1935/l/cba5 swfVfy=http://www.hdcast.org/embedlive4.php?u=cba5&vw=658&vh=430&domain=usachannels.tv token=Fo5_n0w?U.rA6l3-70w47ch^C pageUrl=http://www.hdcast.org/embedlive4.php?u=cba5&vw=658&vh=430&domain=usachannels.tv" best

That worked. It was slow and the quality sucked but it worked. You're a star. Any idea how I can find streams in HD?
