ESPN3: Rtmpdump Error Downloading RTMP stream

[stevelaw18]

I am trying to download an ESPN3 rtmp stream.

I used rtmpsrv to intercept the connection, which gave me the below rtmp command

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp88998.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand?auth=da.b2aZaOc0cpdhaNcPbBbZdgd6dgcsdsa9-bnJibj-O-6xunwLFEv-q8sgk3rVlbq8s6phsjrdkaook8komnporls4k8qclnpbr5pbrfrckcn2lkkolapsq2sglprqkfqpr8p7r8sllnolkekkl4o9qes9k4q8kbpcr6p9r6rek6&aifp=v0001&slist=88998/espn/2011/03/24/176-8799/web-encodes/146713_espn3&ct5=25-Mar-11&ct6=192.234.2.90&ct7=13265035:FMS_CLOUD&ct8=39&ct1=espn_us&ct3=espn:%7B84E3CBBB-26A3-4776-AC3F-9EF7C000BCB9%7D&ct4=espn_us" -a "ondemand?auth=da.b2aZaOc0cpdhaNcPbBbZdgd6dgcsdsa9-bnJibj-O-6xunwLFEv-q8sgk3rVlbq8s6phsjrdkaook8komnporls4k8qclnpbr5pbrfrckcn2lkkolapsq2sglprqkfqpr8p7r8sllnolkekkl4o9qes9k4q8kbpcr6p9r6rek6&aifp=v0001&slist=88998/espn/2011/03/24/176-8799/web-encodes/146713_espn3&ct5=25-Mar-11&ct6=192.234.2.90&ct7=13265035:FMS_CLOUD&ct8=39&ct1=espn_us&ct3=espn:%7B84E3CBBB-26A3-4776-AC3F-9EF7C000BCB9%7D&ct4=espn_us" -f "WIN 10,1,85,3" -W "http://assets.espn.go.com/[[IMPORT]]/livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.23.1.40793/LivePassModuleMain.swf" -p "http://espn.go.com/espn3/player?id=146713&league=South%20American%20U17&size=condensed" -y "mp4:88998/espn/2011/03/24/176-8799/web-encodes/146713_espn3_1200k/146713_espn3_1200k.mp4" -o 146713_espn3_1200k.flv

but when I run it, I get the following error:

ERROR: RTMP_HashSWF: swfurl http://assets.espn.go.com/[[IMPORT]]/livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.23.1.40793/LivePassModuleMain.swf not found

ERROR: rtmp server sent error

Any thoughts on why the rtmpdump command does not work?

Thanks

Try to remove

[[IMPORT]]/

If you use Windows, you can also download RTMP streams with freeware StreamTransport, CooJah + Blader, shareware Replay Media Catcher,...

And you can capture RTMP streams in real time while you watch them using freeware CooJah (without Blader), Orbit Grab Pro, shareware Replay Media Catcher 4.

I'll try those. Thanks

Then just find the real URL of the SWF player. View the source or use a URL Finder

Have you managed to rip a stream from ESPN3 using rtmpdump? I can't manage to authenticate as well - I get Access Denied.
