Please excuse this post if it is outside the parameters of this forum. I have reviewed the basic suggestions and see some avenues to pursue but before I download a bunch of software only to discover it is futile can someone please advise if they have successfully caputured streams from ulive.com like http://www.ulive.com/video/all-family-all-the-time ?
I have tried a variety of tools in the past including WM recorder and i think RMR without success other than in screen capture mode, which ends up with glitches due to my slower machines.
I did a search of this site via google as I was unable to find an internal search option and found no reference to ulive. In fact a web search only turned up this thread that seemed relevant: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDwQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.videohelp.com%2Fthreads%2F3 40695-Please-help-me-capture-this-stream(CBS)&ei=ba4cU4H8CM2FkQfq1oCQDw&usg=AFQjCNGBkeBETudBDn8NJ_eN3gHxT3Sxgw&sig2=0oU-dvq84kuGD4CUmDLhNA . That seems to indicate that at least back then it was possible to use RTMP Explorer successfully but I tried it without success. RTMP Explorer shifts to a different url at ulive and displays it with things all overlapping, etc. and even when i can find a link within the page to go to a video it does not connect.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or pointers in the right direction.

Look in the html at 'playlistJson', then search for "file":". You find three codes like

Go to http://www.base64decode.org/ and paste & decode, then you will see the link to a direct download, not rtmp

WOW! That was so easy. Last time I tried getting a stream from comcast.net on demand and I spent 3 days without success. Thanks so much for the help. Wish I had found this forum sooner.

Came back to this link because today i tried to capture another stream from this site using the directions above. I can get the link: http://videos.realgravity.com/1199/content/363402/1558785-7da5e040-83a3-4c3a-9ad5-ea0d7a2c8e24.mp4
but it does not download but rather just plays. This did work before, not sure if my notes are inadequate and i am missing a step or perhaps there was a change at the site and thus it is not working now.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you could possibly tell me how to download the captions/subtitles for ulive videos as well?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
