Best way to download from YouNow?


I need to know what is the easiest way how to download all of a users' broadcasts? I'm surprised there isn't any threads on it. Anyhow...

When I go to a broadcaster's videos archive page, all of their videos are there on a single page. However, this is how it works: you must click the play button, then the background will dim as the video player opens up and starts the video (same window).

You can only have one video open at a time, because once you click the background, the video closes! Not only that but you can't click-open them in seperate windows, either.

Not very ideal for RTMPDumphelper/RTMPdump.exe, since the video has to be playing as the stream is being saved.

Also rtmpsrv.exe is wack. When I download through it, the completion percent keeps jumps up and down like 3.5%, 5.0%, then down to 3.1%, or something like that. It keeps downloading endlessly and what should only be a small download that is 10 MB comes up to several 100 MBs. If it wasn't for this wackiness, it would be great because of the fast speeds.

BTW, the site doesn't support Internet Explorer so apps like StreamTransport and others are out of the question.

Thanks but can you tell me how exactly would the command look then. I tried it and it appeared to have worked but then I don't think it did properly.

Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://wowzastream-1594986830.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:1935/bnowvods3/" -a "bnowvods3/" -f "WIN 11,8,800,94" -W "http://cdn2.younow.com/js/jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf" -p "http://www.younow.com/djsamhouse#broadcasts/3270877" -y "amazons3/younowvideos/9c/e4/82_3270877_x264" -o 82_3270877_x264.flv
^I don't really understand this but I got that from the command.bat that RTMPDump/Helper outputted.

Also if this does work, will I have to manually add the -v each time? There's no way to just use it in RTMPDumpHelper automatically because it's the only way I know how, and l I have to be able to do it for several videos quickly.

Thanks for the response

Re: Best way to download from YouNow?


this is a rtmpdump parameter with -v option
test it

1. create a .bat file in the RTMPExplorer folder and paste this parameter, and run this

Code:
rtmpdump -v -r "rtmp://wowzastream-1594986830.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:1935/bnowvods3/" -a "bnowvods3/" -f "WIN 11,8,800,94" -W "http://cdn2.younow.com/js/jwplayer/jwplayer.flash.swf" -p "http://www.younow.com/djsamhouse#broadcasts/3270877" -y "amazons3/younowvideos/9c/e4/82_3270877_x264" -o 82_3270877_x264.flv

Yeah, sorry I found the parameters. I was trying to look for rtmpsrv parameters but they don't exist. My bad.

If I am going to have to do that pasting stuff each time, for each video then maybe this isn't the most efficient way.

For that I might as well just open about 20 tabs and manually start each video I want to download, one on each tab then just go do something like backflips for an hour as they slowly download.

Unless there is a way to write a better automatic command?

Re: Best way to download from YouNow?


Figured it out.

Had to use RTMPDumpHelper and attach to iexplore.exe to get the correct parameters.
Also had to add --live parameter because the download would reach a certain percentage and loop from 0 again with an ever increasing filesize

Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://wowzastream-1594986830.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:1935/bnowvods3/_definst_/" -a "bnowvods3/_definst_/" -f "WIN 14,0,0,176" -W "http://cdn2.younow.com/js/jwplayer6/jwplayer.flash.swf" -p "http://www.younow.com/mediaPlayer.php?entityId=19452144&entityType=f&srcId=0&inviteStr=0" -y "FLV:amazons3/younowvideos/2a/d2/842037_19452144_x264.flv?sessionId=e94e5b598300da4d018e4ca6ec8648b5" -o 842037_19452144_x264.flv --live

Here's a Windows script which automates downloading YouNow videos with RTMPDump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NyQ4ceoDi0

It creates folders for users, gives readable filenames, can download live broadcasts and also batch download 10 latest videos (or next 10, and so on).
