Download/capture NASA TV HD from UStream.TV with rtmpdump

MPW · #1 03-22-2011, 02:00 PM

Hello,

thanks for this nice tutorial!

I installed rtmpdump to capture nasatv hd.

_http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv

which is in fact a ustream rtmp stream.

With google I found this url:

Code:

rtmp://flash86.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamVideo/6540154 playpath=streams/live app=ustreamVideo/6540154 swfUrl="http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.rsl.558.swf" pageUrl="http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html" live=true

unfortunately I wasn't able to confirm it.

But I do not get to dump it with rtmpdump. The swfUrl I tried to add with -W "http://cdn1...", but it still doesn't work.

Could you help me?

Bye
MPW

/edit: I solved it. Here is how it goes:

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://flash86.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamVideo/6540154 -y "streams/live" -W "http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.rsl.558.swf" -p "http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html" -a "ustreamVideo/6540154" -o NASAHDTV-recording.flv

I was able to capture this stream with Replay Media Catcher 4 in the RTMP recording mode. It showed the following URL

Code:

rtmp://cp39920.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live<break>ustream-sj@23780

You can also download RTMP streams with freeware CooJah + Blader, Orbit Downloader, StreamTransport,...

And you can try to capture RTMP streams in real time while you listen to them using freeware CooJah (without Blader), Orbit Grab Pro.

If you use Linux, try rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck.

This stream can be downloaded with Replay Media Catcher 4 as well, but you need to disable super download and set buffer size to 1 second (See Tools -> Settings -> RTMP Download Tweaks).

What are you doing wrong? Probably nothing.

I've got to ask you this though... You didn't see the dates those posts were created

A lot has changed since then

Yep, that would be it. The "-W" option was added in version 2.0 of RTMPdump.
