Help with livestream.com

[mapmot]

Hi,

I need help with the following stream: http://www.banskoski.com/bg/livecam/video

With the help of Wireshark, XBMC forums and Google I was able to piece the following information:

<item>
<title>Bansko Live</title>
<link>rtmp://212-111.livestream.com/mogulus-stream-edge/bansko app=mogulus-stream-edge/bansko swfUrl=http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf pageUrl=http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf?width=700&autoPlay=true&jsEnabled=false&height=500&channel=bansko&hideChannelBranding=true playpath=rtmp://212-96.livestream.com/affiliateStream/bansko/6c69766572657065617465723a72746d703a2f2f3231322d39362e6c69766573747265616d2e636f​6d2f6d6f67756c75732f62616e736b6f2f73746f703030303032303133303332372d303434353430​5f343436</link>

However, rtmpdump yelds the following:

rtmpdump -r rtmp://212-111.livestream.com/mogulus-stream-edge/bansko -a mogulus-stream-edge/bansko -s 'http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf' -p 'http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf?width=700&autoPlay=true&jsEnabled=false&height=500&channel=bansko&hideChannelBranding=true' -y 'rtmp://212-173.livestream.com/affiliateStream/bansko/6c69766572657065617465723a72746d703a2f2f3231322d3137332e6c69766573747265616d2e63​6f6d2f6d6f67756c75732f62616e736b6f2f73746f703030303032303133303332362d3034343531​355f343436' -V

I didn't have any luck with rtmpsrv either. Any suggestions?

karlo2105, what kind of sorcery is this

I tried your command in Windows, it failed the same way as it does in linux. Recompiled rtmpdump with the KSV patchset to get the -W option under Linux, still fails the exact same way as before

Any suggestions?

Try this. They change address daily.

Capture was made with rtmpdumphelper+rtmpsrv.

karlo2105, this worked! I worship you

The only thing I didn't try was rtmpsrv under Windows. Now I have to figure out what prevents rtmpsrv to work under Linux.

[sebastian]

Can anyone help me with these ones?

Important for me is the way how to find the rtmpdump syntax. RTMPDumpHelper didn't help me. :-(

Must you use rtmp, or is http ok?

As example for the first link, view the playlist by loading the following page;

http://xexitdancearenax.api.channel.livestream.com/3.0/getstream.json?id=pla_105da277-21e2-4590-932b-46558d43bf97&callback=json1

At the end of the playlist, find the url following "progressiveUrl":

Copy the entire url that follows

"progressiveUrl":

everything between the quotes, including __gda__= and the code that follows.

Use this url to download the video.

If you must use rtmp, try youtube-dl to find rtmp url. However, it had some trouble downloading the entire video.

[sebastian]

Thanks a lot, that worked for me. How did you find the playlist file? I altered them with yours and put the full URL in it, but couldn't find it myself in the html source code.
