Does anyone have a way to cap cam4 unattended? Was using Elgero's cam4 grabber but that no longer works and he seems to have given up on this site after it went offline for a bit.

Don't need anything fancy, just something to run in the background for a few models 24/7.

I make a batch script that uses the standard Cam4 Streamlink plugin.
Script is for:

- Model List = C:\Windows\C4_Model.txt
- Save Directory = C:\Videos\Cam4\

If you want to change it, edit lines 6,17 and 29
If you want to track multiple models at once, you can start multiple copies of this script

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
:START
ECHO.
SET n=0
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN (C:\Windows\C4_Model.txt) DO (
SET /A n=n+1
SET _fav!n!=%%A
ECHO !n! %%A
)
ECHO.
SET /P MODEL=Select Model (%M% %MODEL%):
FOR /L %%f IN (1,1,!n!) DO (
IF /I '%MODEL%'=='%%f' SET M=%%f
)
SET n=0
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN (C:\Windows\C4_Model.txt) DO (
SET /A n=n+1
IF !n!==%M% SET MODEL=%%A
)

Many thanks for the script Horacio :) I will try it as soon as I have some spare time.

no streamlink, rtmpdump script - standalone, is possible? :)

If you don't have Python on your computer then you first need to install.
Link is https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2713/ my recommendation is to install Python 2.7.13.
After installation directory C:\Python27 should be added to the 'path', this should be checked and possibly manually added the 'path'.
Instalation must be in the directory C:\Python27. Choose custom instalation. I am used this instalation file for my Windows7 32bit: http://www.mediafire.com/file/z0dy1qpjzpybc94/python-2.7.13.rar
For more information use Google ;)

All files from https://codeload.github.com/horacio9a/cam4-anonymous/zip/master must be in C:\-c4-py\
except c4.bat who can be in C:\Windows\ together with all rtmpdump files
Those who need to install python should watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYUBz4mrnFU
In this youtube video at the end you can see how to find 'Environment Variables' where you need to check if there is 'C:\Windows\' and ';C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\;' in the path
At the beginning of the edit line should be:
%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShel l\v1.0\;
which in the translation means:
PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows\Sys tem32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v 1.0\;
Somewhere in that line should also be located also: ';C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\;'
My recommendation is to put in the C:\Windows all rtmpdump and ffmpeg, ffplay and some other similar files that other programs and scripts often call, and there is no need to have them in each directory in particular.

@Horacio, in your bat files, when you change the folder location, you can go crazy :D What is the configuration file for if you need to change a few lines in a bat file? For a layman, this could be the biggest problem.

@Horacio, in your bat files, when you change the folder location, you can go crazy :D What is the configuration file for if you need to change a few lines in a bat file? For a layman, this could be the biggest problem.

I see the most users have problem because rtmpdump.exe is not in the path.
That's why I added rtmpdump location in 'config.cfg' ... this is new default 'config.cfg'

[folders]
output_folder: C:/Videos/Cam4/
[files]
model_list: C:/Windows/C4_Model.txt
rtmpdump: C:/Windows/rtmpdump.exe

For beginners it is best to accept default value, and advanced users must edit 'c4.bat' and 'config.cfg'
To conclude, all files from zip should be placed in the 'C:\-c4-py\' directory except 'c4.bat' and 'C4_Model.txt' which should be moved to 'C:/Windows'. All the above changes is in version 1.0.4 which can be download from always same link: https://codeload.github.com/horacio9a/cam4-anonymous/zip/master

same error,I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling python but nothing.

these are the steps I did: I installed python in C:\ Python27, then downloaded the cam4-anonymus file and put the folder in C:\ - c4-py except the "c4.bat" and "C4_Model.txt" files that I put in C: \ Windows with "rtmpdump-2.4" and "scripts".

Then start the c4.bat file in windows and try all options (1,2,3) but I get the usual error: python is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable program or a batch file.
Did I do something wrong?I used IDM before (it was so simple) but now it does not work anymore.

Check if you have these files:

C:\Python27\pythonw.exe

if you have you did not set a good path for C:\Python27\

You still do not have the directory C:\Python27 in the path ... you obviously made a mistake somewhere.
For IDM I also use Chrome ... try chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash
Option Run all Flash content when Flash setting is set to "allow" must be 'enabled' for IDM.

You still do not have the directory C:\Python27 in the path ... you obviously made a mistake somewhere.

I noticed that in the video it is going to change the "path" line while I changed the "PSModulePath"line(that's where I found the python path) because the "Path" line is already a string, this one:
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Windows\sys tem32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windo ws\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Smart Projects\IsoBuster;C:\Program Files\B1 Free Archiver;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\;C:\Program Files\Livestreamer;C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin
do I need to change the "Path" string?

For IDM I also use Chrome ... try chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash

I did as you said, before it was set to "default" while it is now on "enabled" but it still has the same error. https://imgur.com/bxDkfGb

pip install -r Requirements.txt

Done?

[david00]

pip install -r Requirements.txt

Done?

No because I did not understand what to do, what should I do?

[horacio]

No because I did not understand what to do, what should I do?

Start 'Command Promt' and type 'pip list' <enter>

You will see that your python installation has no 'Command' module ... so you need to install it with the command:

pip install Command

you probably need to install some more modules.
@Damianonymous advised you well ... nothing bad will happen with point 1 of setup:

Setup
=====
1. Install requirements `pip install -r Requirements.txt`

Obviously, you do not know much about it and constantly philosophize yourself instead of reading README.md well and doing so, and after that you have the right to ask questions if something is wrong.

[flipper2011]

When recording a model that goes private in the middle of recording, the batch file gets stuck, the filelength=0 (for the new private session) and you can't get out of the window EXCEPT if you close the window. You can't Control Break or X out.

Otherwise this works pretty well

I had seen the video and followed the "pip install requests" command but probably did not add anything to me. I did as you said and did not have many modules, I installed:
pip install Command
pip install configparser
pip install colorama
pip install DateTime
pip install termcolor

then I also had to create the path C: \ Videos \ Cam4 because when I started c4.bat did not download anything.

and now finally works yeaaaaaaaa lol, thanks a lot horacio(:o ) and Damianonymous for your patience.

Alleluia ... I'm glad it finally worked. Most of us try first without reading README.md thinking it will save time but this is an obvious example that it is better to first read the instructions;)

I can't download rtmp from cam4 with IDM anymore.. Anyone knows other method like that? :(

[NerfHerder101]

I just use Tubedigger. I broke down and bought the full version. It's only $15USD after you use the 40% off coupon (just google Tubedigger Discount)

Either use TubeDiggers built in browser, or use a 32bit version of Opera or Firefox and use Tubediggers DL mode and make sure monitor browsers is enabled. It will download the stream even after you close the browser, so as long the model does not refresh, go into pvt or offline.

Check with 'pip list' what python modules you need. I see you need 'urllib3' module.
check also if other modules from Requirements.txt exist.

The tricks mentioned here are really nice and might help to solve problems with other web-sites. However newer versions of RTMP Flash stream recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-video-Adobe-Flash-FLV-videos.htm) have better support of cam4.com. For example, Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) can perfectly record RTMP web-cams from cam4:

New version of cam4 anonymous recorder v.1.0.7 for python27 is uploaded.
There are some changes like:
- The 'State Model' indication is added. If the model is offline or incorrect model name script stops.
- We can now choose other recording and viewing programs except rtmpdump who is default program.
- Default script is 'c4a.py' letter 'a' in the name means 'ALL' for 'all mode' record and play with hidden script traffic.
- Script 'c4aw.py' letter 'w' in the name means 'window' allow you to see what is actually happening in a separate window.
- Other scripts is for 24/7 permanent recordings.

but how can i start recording the list of models without my attends?

So i want to add to the file list of models each name per line, start script and it will be checked every 30 sec if online, in case if online it will start recording. Something like was done for the MFC Recorder, if you know.

So far, there have been several attempts to make good GUI applications but all of thats attempts have lasted very shortly because the Cam4 team watching this public forum well and often changes something so I do not know how much it would make any sense.

Similar to what i already made for bongacams now i made an improvement of the original stramlink plugin script also for cam4.

Hi,
