Can somebody help get filmon rtmp code to play with livestreamer?

[j_cool]

I just read one older post in this thread and you say that livestreamer low stream does not work for your url.

Then it is something like CNN that doesn't work until you pay for it.

I think CNN is not worth a penny so I did not go further to look at that, and I think that CNN solution might work for your url.

Somebody worked out vaughnlive.py, everything is possible but who knows more than me appears to be more shy than me as well.

Cheers,

Johnny.

What CNN solution? Can you explain?

[j_cool]

I visited filmon right now and it appears that CNN ceased to exist on filmon. There are some traces of them left on filmon search.

It was something hard to get hold of, so I tried to find comparison to your url.

If I am right, your url has to do something with horse racing, and had you not posted it here I would had never known it existed.
Looking for something popular like CNN migh attract more attention from other forum members, but CNN are not any more on filmon.

Lajvguy,

from your post here I put together low stream for BBC 4, they have good documentaries from 7pm -7am GMT ( Greenwich mean time, London )

ID is good for 24 hours, without livestreamer I have to get it, otherwise livestreamer sorts it out.


vlc "rtmp://live-1183.gv2.edge.filmon.com/live/?id=035bca1a71b11fce016d28acd3dbea51cbc96ddfe5b9ed 3f8fe3286df6

dcc2a3/3191.low.stream"


Not what you asked for, but somebody else on the forum may fancy reading this post.

(there are some spaces in ID string comming from imperfection of "paste" here, spaces should be removed. )

[lajvguy]

@ j cool,

Thanks for the post. Do you know how to run this script:

http://darbycrash.eu/PHP/f-tok.php.txt

I think D3n1s uses this script to get the filmon channel codes.

[j_cool]

No.

He runs Linux ( curl ), I should had looked at that long time ago but there was no streaming back then.

Now young folks leave me behind.

By the way, where did you get "code" for my BBC 4 "rtmp" and "hls" ?

Can you post the same for your horse racing url, I am curious to look at that.


Cheers,

Johnny.

[lajvguy]

@ j cool,

I got the rtmp and hls codes for HRTV (horse racing) from these pages:

http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/694?protocol=hls
http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/694?protocol=rtmp


Your BBC4 channel number is 3191 so I got the rtmp & hls from:

http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/3191?protocol=hls
http://www.filmon.com/api-v2/channel/3191?protocol=rtmp

[j_cool]

About D3n1s script, it is served to you like a meal on a silver platter.
To run it is a matter of knowing how to run bash script on bash command line.


BBC 4 can be recorded like this, as you see, successfully:

lajvguy,


you may ask people to crack FilmonPlayer.swf, if filmon is using token may be inside there.
Or simply ask, is filmon using token ?


This is how to get rtmp parameters with livestreamer:

What I have not figured out yet is how to get stream recorded with livestreamer with resized window.

Can be done with FFMPEG with these parameters, but at a price of getting new ID every 24 hours.
( won't be hard to me to script it given livestreamer's generous output )

When resizing windows, FFMPEG / FFPLAY return best looks.
