There is a Google Chrome plugin that can do it.

I wonder if the folks developing LiveCamNotifier (now in Beta v 2.3) as shareware would be interested in adding a record feature?

They put this version out last month after Cam4 changed everything.

The beta-invite list is closed (I got in) according to their private forum ( I haven't seen any activity by them in June except this in their forum):

'Thank you for your interest though and like us on FaceBook and follow us on Twitter! There will be chances to win licenses for the future and if we decide to open up the beta group again, you will be the first to know that way!"

When invites were open you were to write to
livecamnotifier+beta@gmail.com

I use the Firefox plugin, "Updatescanner" to scan for changes on the Cam4 user's page, and it reports when they start broadcasting.

But how to start recording automatically, I have no idea.

TubeDigger 2.2.3 has auto-refresh feature. Assure that "Rec Mode" is turned on, select stream for recording and press key F7 - you will hear sound specified as the Windows Asterisk (if sounds are not disabled in Control Panel) and 2 minutes refresh timeout will start. If no recording every 2 minutes - page will be refreshed. Leaving current page will automatically disable refresh timeout.

I've been playing around with that Live Cam Notifier tool, but it uses a lot of bandwidth if you have many broadcasters in your list. Most camsites have an option to create some sort of personal watchlist. It would save a huge amount of bandwidth if they created a tool that would read only your watchlist page instead of the page of each broadcaster.

In the case of Cam4, if you automatically want to record streams, then you must pretent to be the swf player and do the handshake stuff yourself, so it sends the direct rtmp link to you.
