Has anyone tried it again? Maybe it works, if you add these options:

Code:

--http-cookie

Code:

--http-header

Can you post an on-demand/replay code instead?

If you're not sure which line code, run URLsnooper while you play the on-demand feed and then go to:

file>export>save entire table to file

Then post that .txt file on here so we can look over the data

Here's a URLsnooper table. http://pastebin.com/gq5g4M0X
I tried an updated MRC, livestreamer, and ffmpeg with no luck.

I accessed the stream through http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/ but the direct link is http://mlb.mlb.com/shared/flash/medi...+Grid&team=mlb.

Either of these seemed like they should work
http://mlblive-akc.mlb.com/ls04/mlba..._complete.m3u8
http://mlblive-akc.mlb.com/ls04/mlba...ter_wired.m3u8

But livestreamer says,
[cli][info] Found matching plugin stream for URL hlsvariant://http://mlblive-akc.mlb.com/ls04/mlbam/2015/05/06/MLB_GAME_VIDEO_ARICOL_VISIT_20150506/master_wired.m3u8

interesting, was this live or was this on-demand at the time?

i wonder if there is some sort of token?

what number keeps changing in these (in red):

Code:

"http://mlblive-akc.mlb.com/ls04/mlbam/2015/05/06/MLB_GAME_VIDEO_ARICOL_VISIT_20150506/2400K/21/32/22.ts", "GET ts file (relative)", "", "45447824", "172.16.83.128"

Code:

"http://mlblive-akc.mlb.com/ls04/mlbam/2015/05/06/MLB_GAME_VIDEO_ARICOL_VISIT_20150506/2400K/21/32/27.ts", "GET ts file (relative)", "", "45445096", "172.16.83.128"

Code:

"http://mlblive-akc.mlb.com/ls04/mlbam/2015/05/06/MLB_GAME_VIDEO_ARICOL_VISIT_20150506/2400K/2400_complete.m3u8", "GET m3u8 file (relative)", "", "45448352", "172.16.83.128"

there also seem to be a lot of these "generate key" sequences:

Code:

"https://mlb-ws.mlb.com/pubajaxws/bamrest/MediaService2_0/op-generateKey/v-2.3?contentId=103564583&kid=20021306", "https 3 file", "", "45448616", "184.85.215.113"

so this url plays without any login, the on-demand feed:

Code:

This is what rtmpdumphelper did on "suck" mode:

so i ran rtmpdumphelper on "serve" mode and got this download of cumulative files, with the most recent and largest file playing the whole video...so this will work and download the whole game, but your folder will have a bunch of smaller files...but the most recent and largest file has the whole thing start to finish:

Nice, thanks! Just saw this, will check it out soon!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I must be doing something wrong. When I run rtmpdumphelper in either mode, the only command prompt output I get is

Code:

RTMP Server 2.4 GIT-2015-01-15 (Compiled by KSV)
(c) 2010 [etc., etc.]

Streaming on rtmp://0.0.0.0:1935

I tried launching the browser before rtmpdumphelper, and vice versa. I tried Chrome and Firefox. The rtmpdumphelper GUI says that it successfully launches the RTMP proxy server and successfully attaches to the web browser. Should it take a while?

joejones15 · #17 05-10-2015, 02:45 PM

i open rtmpdumphelper first in serve mode, then play this link in firefox and it catches right away:

Code:

http://mlb.mlb.com/shared/flash/mediaplayer/v4.5/R7/MP4.jsp?calendar_event_id=14-414053-2015-05-06&content_id=103564583&media_id=&view_key=&media_type=video&source=MLB&sponsor=MLB&clickOrigin=Media+Grid&affiliateId=Media+Grid&team=mlb

do you have most recent version:

Code:

https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/releases/download/v2.4/rtmpdump-2.4.zip

Zebra · #18 05-10-2015, 03:57 PM

Huh. I did have 2.4 before. I just tried it again and got a Failed to start RTMP server error, but then extracted rtmpdump-2.4.zip again, copied over the files in rtmpdumphelper121, relaunched, and got the same output as before (Streaming on rtmp://0.0.0.0:1935).

The RTMPdump binaries are all in the rtmpdumphelper121 folder, which is in Program Files (x86). That patch.diff file isn't used for anything since these are already compiled, right?

hmmm...not sure mate, im stumped

this is the command line i get:

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://184.29.104.62:1935/ondemand" -a "ondemand?_fcs_vhost=cp65670.edgefcs.net&akmfv=1.6&auth=da.dja1cTa4aNdfdMaCaxbhcmcpdHd2cQbP-bvt9i6-O-EunqzjHqKqqGIn-j9k9l9ljmhmhlbkamljhl7jhjlm8mfjij8kal9lfmam7lckd&aifp=v0001&slist=secure/mlbam/2015/05/06/14-414053-2015-05-06/web-encodes/mlbtv_aricol_visit&ct5=10-May-15&ct6=67.250.252.57&ct7=103564583:FMS_CLOUD&ct8=1&ct1=mlb&ct3=29984479&ct4=mlb&ct9=d0a84eeafa794bc0a8397a03693a6d53" -f "WIN 17,0,0,169" -W "http://mlb.mlb.com/shared/flash/mediaplayer/v4.5/R7/MediaPlayer4.swf" -p "http://mlb.mlb.com/shared/flash/mediaplayer/v4.5/R7/MP4.jsp?calendar_event_id=14-414053-2015-05-06&content_id=103564583&media_id=&view_key=&media_type=video&source=MLB&sponsor=MLB&clickOrigin=Media+Grid&affiliateId=Media+Grid&team=mlb" -C B:0 -y "mp4:secure/mlbam/2015/05/06/14-414053-2015-05-06/web-encodes/mlbtv_aricol_visit_2400k.mp4?auth=da.dja1cTa4aNdfdMaCaxbhcmcpdHd2cQbP-bvt9i6-O-EunqzjHqKqqGIn-j9k9l9ljmhmhlbkamljhl7jhjlm8mfjij8kal9lfmam7lckd&aifp=v0001&slist=secure/mlbam/2015/05/06/14-414053-2015-05-06/web-encodes/mlbtv_aricol_visit&ct5=10-May-15&ct6=67.250.252.57&ct7=103564583:FMS_CLOUD&ct8=1&ct1=mlb&ct3=29984479&ct4=mlb&ct9=d0a84eeafa794bc0a8397a03693a6d53" -o "2015-05-10_05-48-44_mlbtv_aricol_visit_2400k.flv"

maybe try clearing your firefox history, start rtmpdumphelper on "serve", then open firefox and play that link (also, not sure if makes difference, but I have adblocker on while doing this)
