Downloading Hulu Videos Using rtmpdump For Idiots..(rtmpdump & related apps only)

(http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4959)

Re: Downloading Hulu Videos (Using rtmpdump) For Idiots.....

Hulu suddenly stopped working around noon today for me w/ get flash videos and the hulu plugin... Anyone else having issues?

Re: Downloading Hulu Videos (Using rtmpdump) For Idiots.....

It was only a matter of time... It looks to me like they've turned off Flash9 compatibility, and are now requiring Flash10. We haven't yet deciphered the Flash10 handshake, and I have no idea how long it may take to do that. So this is going to be broken for the foreseeable future.

Re: Downloading Hulu Videos (Using rtmpdump) For Idiots.....

Interesting, you can't even rtmpsuck them anymore. Is it encrypted? The video still plays, but the stream is not found as it is on other sites.

You win this round, Adobe. Now that you're monitoring these threads, a flash player that doesn't play choppy would be much more appreciated than your efforts to prevent us from watching them in a player that actually works.

Hulu has been encrypted for most of a year already. Just to clarify, rtmpdump is compatible with un-encrypted FlashPlayer 10 and with encrypted FlashPlayer 9. Hulu seems to now be requiring an FP10 RTMPE handshake, instead of also accepting FP9 RTMPE, and it seems nobody yet knows how to process this.

The reason rtmpsuck doesn't work is because it answers the client's handshake and then connects to the real server. Since rtmpsuck only knows how to do an FP9 RTMPE handshake, the real server rejects it. We can't just pass the client's handshake through directly, because then we wouldn't have access to the encryption keys, which are negotiated in the handshake.

Fortunately, because the player has to remain compatible with older Flash servers, they can't change very much of the handshake.

Haven't read this carefully, but it looks like progress has been made on other programs:

I'll prepare the excel sheet with the RTMP(E) handshake breakdown
again. Is not too different from previous one. In the mean time, you
can look over that patch, is not complicated. All they changed is the
positions of DH offset, digest offset computation. The rest remains
the same.

Nope. rtmpdump has had that code since v1.5 in April 2009, they probably got theirs from rtmpdump in the first place. This is something completely different.

Re: Downloading Hulu Videos (Using rtmpdump) For Idiots.....

Ah, reading source code on an Iphone doesn't really work. Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut until I've had time to review :)

if it doesnt work it fine then how to play it without the ad?

Re: Downloading Hulu Videos (Using rtmpdump) For Idiots.....

Doesn't work for me.

Re: Downloading Hulu Videos (Using rtmpdump) For Idiots.....

Shouldn't this be working since the FP10 handshake patch which has been committed in r276 at 2010-02-27?

I cannot test it because I'm living not in the USA.
