Downloading Hulu Videos Using rtmpdump For Idiots..(rtmpdump & related apps only)

[Ickook]

The hulu plugin Definitely needs updates still. If I get the chance today, I'll try it by hand.

[hyc]

Yeah, there's a small mistake in the plugin. I emailed the maintainers a couple weeks ago but they didn't respond. Mebbe they'll respond to this...

[Ickook]

Awesome- I'll swap in that code tonight and see if it works. It was choking in that section, but I hadn't taken the time to sit down and step through each function to find what was off.

[Ickook]

Looks like something is failing before that. $smil_file_url doesn't appear to be right.

That v= parameter expired long ago. The current one (which will probably expire soon too) is 810006400.

[Ickook]

That did the trick.

You bet....
But please PM questions like this or create a separate thread.

Guys, please do me a favor. When you post a URL leading to some content provider like lULU, make sure it is not converted into link.
If you have a link like
http://www.lulu.com/watch/136426/fam...noticing-peter
you can use the following:

• "http://www.lulu.com/watch/136426/family-guy-noticing-peter"
• _http://www.lulu.com/watch/136426/family-guy-noticing-peter
• hxxp://www.lulu.com/watch/136426/family-guy-noticing-peter

Alternatively the noparse tag can be used:

[noparse]http://www.lulu.com/watch/136426/family-guy-noticing-peter[/noparse]

This can help recording tools to live a little bit longer.

hi, maybe someone can test it on hulu (Hulu.com)?
my pc location is not in the U.S.A. so i watch Hulu stuff with a proxy no problem.

Using GetFLV as a sniffer i get 4 video resolutions for the following episode:

...so getflv (and other tools) is probably able to download them. But what about our rtmpdump?

the command is:

...but since my ip number isnt U.S. ip, i get some quick error:
Connecting ...
WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 8
INFO: Connected...

Maybe someone located in the USA can confirm that rtmpdump works for Hulu (hulu.com)?

i am just curious. Hulu seems to be one of the hardest webpages. you can see that by the length of the command.. which includes even an sessionID

[placebo]

http://www.hulu.com/watch/177438/halloween-on-6th-street

i cant remember how i did it but ..etc..

Note that rtmpdump interrupted the download process at ~24% with some error message. Other tools fail to do the job (from my country's PC location): streamtransporter, CJB, getflv.exe, etc.

This clearly demonstrates that rtmpdump.exe is the most powerful RTMPE downloader!
