How to download Vega Science videos?


Hello. Is there some workaround to get videos at www.vega.org.uk to work with rtmpsrv/rtmpsuck? Following the standard Linux procedure of using iptables to redirect port 1935 to another user and so on and so forth doesn't work with that site anymore. They used to work fine but now rtmpsrv/rtmpsuck just sit there as if nothing is happening.

Re: Vega Science videos no longer working with rtmpsrv/rtmpsuck


Well, I ended up figuring out a manual method. In case anyone is interested, view the source of the page with the video you want, then search for "rtmp" and you get to a block of text like this:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
				// player is jwplayer from www.longtailvideo.com
				var s1 = new SWFObject("http://www.vega.org.uk/flash/player.swf","single","480","380","9");
				s1.addVariable("type", "rtmp");
				s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
				s1.addVariable("image","http://www.vega.org.uk/flash/preview.jpg");
				s1.addVariable("streamer","rtmp://www.vega.org.uk:443/oflaDemo");
				s1.addVariable("file","tnbtvoyagetothebottomofthesea320x240.flv");
				s1.addVariable("showdigits","total");
				//s1.addVariable("stretching", "fill");
				s1.write("player");
			</script>
Based on the above info, the rtmpdump command that worked ended up being like this:

Code:
rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://www.vega.org.uk:443/oflaDemo/ --playpath "tnbtvoyagetothebottomofthesea320x240.flv" -o output.flv
I'm still curious why rtmpsrv/rtmpsuck don't work on that site. Thanks.

You need to post the exact error that you get. Also have you compiled the latest version of rtmpdump from SVN?

rtmpsrv/rtmpsusk can not listen to port 443, only 1935.Although maybe I am wrong.

@getflv
this is not the point. we are here in the rtmpdump forum section. Here, the boardies discuss the use of the FREEWARE tool, because they dont plan to spend money on costly tools such as your product

I have tested GetFLV, and it works well with Vega Science videos.. but that's not the point. This thread is about "How to download Vega Science videos with rtmpdump (and rtmpsrv)" and not about "How to download Vega Science videos"

EDIT: this thread is now moved to Video stream recording forum section.

I thought about this as well and I'm not certain either. I'm using the 2.3 version and have not tried SVN, if someone could enlighten us to the port 443 issue I'd try out the latest SVN if there is an update for it. Thanks.

There's no error, rtmpsrv just sits there as if nothing is coming though and the video just plays in the browser. I have not tired SVN, just version 2.3.

Is there any problem redirecting traffic coming out to port 443 the same way you do it for port 1935?

I just tried redirecting to port 443 on my iptables command and now all of the flash windows on the Vega site say that the rtmp server is not found. After I flushed out the rule, the videos play on the site. Maybe I should be redirecting to a different port?
