How to Download MySpace RTMPE streaming with rtmpdump

[hoboslobobabe]

I found out that there is a site (FoXyLiOn) that creates a .bat file for myspace downloads with rtmpdump:

(http://foxylion.xail.net/myspacedump/

It does in fact work!
You just enter the url of the myspace site, i.e.:

http://www.myspace.com/wwwmyspacecomheathergreene

then you are given a choice which od the songs you want to download.
You choose one or more, and it makes a .bat.
You put it into the file where rtmpdump.exe is run the .bat and it downloads the chosen song.

I opened the .bat with txteditor and it says following:

rtmpdump.exe 
-r rtmpe://akafms-music02.myspacecdn.com/ondemand/mp3:71/std_921066a0c01c41ecbfe23a630c224396 
-o "Heather Greene - Hey Wait.flv"

The site basically just uses urlsnooper and rtmpdump to get this link.

Manually it would be like this:
You use urlsnooper with option "advanced" and "show all" then filter "getsong".
The song that is playing will show up at the top.
You just copy the link, paste it in your browser and load the address, it’s source text.
Then you look for the link that starts with "rtmp" and copy it.
Then you change this link to rtmpe and add mp3: and start rtmp with the necessary parameters, and it looks just like the bat that the site creates.

rtmpdump.exe 
-r rtmpe://akafms-music02.myspacecdn.com/ondemand/mp3:71/std_921066a0c01c41ecbfe23a630c224396 
-o "Heather Greene - Hey Wait.flv"

That is the theory and it should work, I have yet to try myself if this manual approach would work successfully like the site does, but it should do so.

does not exist anymore.

how about a method for videos? I would assume it is similar. Can anyone help getting Myspace videos with rtmpdump. Have fallen in love with rtmpdump and any help towards using it with secure flash videos would be highly appreciated.
