download lower quality stream from ustream

[StreamRecorder]

When I try to download UStream live streams, I get HD versions only. rtmpsrv shows the same rtmpdump parameters for both HD and SD versions. Is there any way to download lower quality stream from UStream?

p.s.
I tried http://piscui.webear.net/ustream.php which shows a playlist URL only now and ffmpeg stops after downloading one segment. Sometimes when I relaunch the ffmpeg, it shows videos saying that it tries to detect what video quality is better for me thus not downloading any content itself.

I also tried the https://github.com/kenorb/UStream-recorder , but at the moment all its rtmpdump commands lead to downloading HD videos only.

Try Livestreamer.

Usage:
livestreamer.exe "ustream url" "quality" -o "output filename"
quality option can be "best" "worst" "360p" "480p" "720p"

example:
Livestreamer.exe http://www.ustream.tv/sakkfesztival best -o video.mp4

Thank you very much for your suggestion!

I haven't been able to use livestreamer with the python-librtmp. I only get the following error when using it:

Failed to load plugin ustreamtv:

    file = open(self.sourcefilename, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/librtmp_ffi/__pycache__/_binding.c'

However Livestreamer downloads fine for me without the python-librtmp. I can choose quality now without any problem!!!

Will be testing whether it will work with live playlists from UStream or not. Thank you again!

I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
  File "__main__.py", line 122, in <module>
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module '__main__Livestreamer__'

What could be the cause of it?
