For those outside the US, you should still be able to watch/download http://www.hulu.com/watch/131395/if-i-can-dream-the-journey-to-hollywood-part-1 (I'm not sure if it's using a FP10 handshake or not, get-flash-videos fails but it mightn't be just that)

ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header

i can watch the s**t from outside the US, true. thanks. but i cant get rtmpdump to download the stream (above parameters by rtmpsrv). my hosts file is edited back to original state and i am doing it all right (i am not a newbie to this tool, and dont forget i am a f***ing great mod here!! ). rtmpdump just fails.

"server answered 8" means that an unexpected error has occurred and that rtmpdump cant help it. Well, in any case i am not doing it any different than in here (some other hulu case).

i've retried it a couple of times and am giving up on this. hulu wins. game ova
Furthermore, i am not going to test GetFLV or any other cr*ppled demo version of a commercial tool on this. Why? Because this thread is about rtmpdump

If any software developer/company wants me to write something good about their product (a review, thorough testing, and positive results, or promotional words or recommendation), then i need a complimentary copy of that product. For sure i personally dont need any moyea, foxreal, flvsoft, youtube flv downloder, superlogix, hulu-downloader, getflv neither am i interested in HULU, etc. since i am only interested in music and not in videographic material. So i am not going to buy any such commercial tool only because i am a mod here and should/could do some more testing than others just for the sake of testing. Sorry Jack King, sorry Terry Backer!

OK, so StreamTransporter no longer seems to work, and while I haven't really used RTMPDump manually it would seem that this is the only way for me to get Hulu videos.

Right what I think my problem, Adobe copy protection.

Now I am using RTMPDump 2.3, HxD and Firefox to gather the link information. I had started the download while the video was still playing, also I tried pausing the video before attempting to download. Same resolute.

I see they've switched to the type 9 RTMPE handshake now. Too bad, we have not yet published support for RTMPE type 9 in rtmpdump. I guess you're out of luck until somebody contributes working code for it.

[jsmith]

its a shame but is worth it to learn how rtmpdump works? it seems hulu is finding new and creative ways to make it hard to get their vids. has anyone found out how to work around type 9? will ther be a ttpe 10? is it complicated? i'm a newbie to all tis.

[svnpenn]

The main developer has been inactive for over 2 months.
The patch for type 9 RTMPE handshake will probably have to come from someone else.

[jsmith]

oh okay.

has anyone really found a way around this new type 9 stuff? i mean somebody must be up to the challenge.

is the issue that hulu plans to work with new versions to make this harder? i mean once somebody figures out how to get around type 9. will there be a type 10 and 11?

i mean is there any hope for somebody to crack this? i only ask because i could have learned this rtmpdump stuff. but it seemed complicated. i just now tried to learn this and this type 9 thing just came out.

where can i check to see if somebody has cracked it?

yes. thank you. i will check regularly. i just hope its soon. that somebody comes up with something. so rtmpdump was working up until type 9 came out? i feel stupid because i could if got the vids i want back when it was type 6. but i was too impatient.
