The problem is that Auth string is valid only for few secs!! You should use sth instead of copy and pasting auth strings!! I tried rtmpsuck and worked:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp88998.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand" -a "ondemand?auth=da.cRaFdRc3aAbPbnaIbsd6cRdVa1aZdcaA-bpOSnY-O-5xuqzLICw-k9men3rerdmfqankkcmlpgm2k8mbocqmk3m5olrfrcm5q8malqmmp4m6kbnnpmpak8npoprhr7m8qam2kal5pfm3khm9o3p9kcm3n7rg&aifp=v0001&slist=88998/espn/2012/04/30/176-21492/web-encodes/463203_espn3&ct5=03-May-12&ct6=208.92.36.18&ct7=21056843:FMS_CLOUD&ct8=39&ct1=espn_us&ct3=6675A4B9-047B-0A75-35DC-13BC42FE9005&ct4=espn_us" -f "WIN 11,2,202,228" -W "http://neulion.vo.llnwd.net/o37/espn/player/espnplayer/static/flex/console.swf" -p "http://www.espnplayer.com/espnplayer/xgames" --live -y "mp4:88998/espn/2012/04/30/176-21492/web-encodes/463203_espn3_400k/463203_espn3_400k.mp4" -o "463203_espn3_400k.mp4.flv"

I owe you a beer!!!

rtmpsrv - I couldn't start it on Mac OS X, but I installed Ubuntu on a VM, ran rtmpsrv - it gave me the URL.

I switched 400k to 1800k and now I am downloading the highest quality.

I am not sure why rtmpdump didn't run inside the VM though - I had to run rtmpdump from the host OS (Mac OS X), after getting the URL from the VM's rtmpsrv

Thanks man!

Have a good day/evening!
