Help recording stream from vh1 website

everything0 · #1 06-28-2011, 09:48 PM

I'm trying to capture this video from the vh1 website: _http://vh1.com/video/celebrity-rehab-5/full-episodes/intake/1666117/playlist.jhtml

I'm getting errors with rtmpdump, that I can't figure out:

Code:

$ ./rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacomvh1strmfs.fplive.net/viacomvh1strm/gsp.vhonecomstor/vh1.com/shows/celebrity_rehab_5/vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_open_640x480_1600_m30.mp4"

Any ideas?

I'm using the latest version of rtmpdump from svn. I also tried with rtmpsrv, which gave me extra parameters for rtmpdump, but the same error occured.

This site is using type 9 handshake which is not currently supported by rtmpdump.

GetFLV can download vh1.com videos no problem.

#4 06-29-2011, 10:43 AM

Use TubeDigger, GetFLV. Or just record videos from screen.

I tried using GetFLV, it would only download the lower resolution stream, rather than the full-quality 1600 kbps 640x480 video that is offered.

It auto adapts and selects a different quality video stream based on available bandwidth, i.e.:

Code:

vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_open_640x480_1600_m30.mp4
vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_act3_576x432_1200_m30.flv
vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_act3_480x360_900_m30.flv
vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_act3_448x336_600_m30.flv
vh_celebrehab_501_rt242435_act3_384x288_400_m30.flv

Are you just completely disregarding my previous post? They offer a max of 640x480 @ 1600 kbps.

How were you able to obtain the stream, though?

EDIT: nevermind. that's what I was able to get with GetFLV as well. (one segment of the video, lower quality)

wtf?

Did i say "deliberate nonsense"? Prove it!

The above is a go with GFLV. The video is streamed in chunks, huh?
Maybe you can get the full episodes from elsewhere (Hulu, AIV, TV.com, ..)?

i hate chunked vids
