View Full Version : Recording HTTP dynamic streaming from uStream (multiple FLV files)

uStream has introduced HTTP dynamic streaming recently. RTMP recording was easy, but now I can only get a bunch of small FLV files. Is there any way to record these streams.

I was thinking about the Adobe HDS Downloader (http://stream-recorder.com/forum/adobe-hds-downloader-t14823.html) by KSV, but can't find the m4f playlist.

Any idea how to record these new streams from uStream?

Can you give an example of a ustream channel that uses HTTP dynamic streaming? Some ustream channels I've tried are still working and recording fine!!!

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://flash87.abvt.tcdn.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamCdn/flash10/14067349" -a "ustreamCdn/flash10/14067349" -f "WIN 11,9,900,117" -W "http://static-cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/live/viewer.rsl:572.swf" -p "http://www.ustream.tv/explore/news" -y "streams/live_1" --live -o "ariangnewslive.flv"

EDIT: Someone sent a ustream link that appears to fit your description above. I can play it on VLC just fine, but I cannot record it :( (non-rtmp).
KSV would have to decide if he want to add it to his HDS Downloader script, or not ;) Cheers!

I too would like to be able to record the new ustream format. I also tried HDS Link Detector, it does not make the manifest. Sniffing with UrlSnooper and Wireshark I could find any reference to m4f, f4f, f4v.

Before when I used Adobe HDS Downloader elsewhere it would download the f4f, but as the ustream looks like it not using that exactly and as you said is serving the fragments as flv it probably doesn't know how to deal with this new format.

I certainly am not well versed in deciphering the strings so maybe I am missing quite a bit. Hopefully, those who know more can help out.

I meant to say I could not find any reference to m4f etc.
