Wondering if soeone can pointme inthe right direction on this rtmpdump-ing this stream.

The original site is blog.livenewschat.tv/politics/

running rtmpsrv gives me:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://d.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge" -a "edge" -f "LNX 11,2,202,243" -W "http://msnbclive.eu/player.swf" -p "http://blog.livenewschat.tv" -y "cnbc_live" -o cnbc_live.flv

This does not work, when I add an '-z x' to the command for more information it gives me:

I've tried doing a core dump on the flash process but that doesn't seem to give me any usable links or options (but I get some messages about not being able to read sections of memory when I do the dump, so it may be I'm missing the 'good stuff' in my memory dump.)

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to move forword on this? Not looking for someone to do it for me, as I'd prefer to learn, so a reasonable hint would be appreciated.

I've been able to get some other streams from rtmpsrv/rtmpdump so I know I have the basic process right, but this seems to be a bit of a different case.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks svnpenn2.

That was rather simple .... can you explain why rtmpsvr gave me a much more complicated command, and one that didn't work? Or is this sort of the way this works; get the basic information from digging into the html, or using rtmpsrv, then work from the most simple configuration on up to the more complicated ones?

Official RtmpSrv does not detect live streams. So if you catch a live stream with RtmpSrv it will not add the "-v" or "live" parameter as it should. I am looking into it.

Ahh, I see. So my more complicated set of parameters does work, I just needed to use '--live' with it.

There, I did learn something important .. much appreciated.
