Re: Issues with BBC iPlayer: Can't download rtmp:// streams anymore

OK, thanks. I tried WM Recorder and it managed to grab a 2hr programme in about a minute - excellent! It's a pity it's shareware as I was hoping to just use Blader (because it's free!)

I've got WM Recorder myself - and it's WELL worth the $40.00 I paid for it 4 years ago. It's been one of my favorite purchases to date, and I recommend paying for it when you can and support the developer

Re: Issues with BBC iPlayer: Can't download rtmp:// streams anymore

To download rtmp:// streams from BBC you can use rtmpdump.exe as a plug-in for Replay Media Catcher 4.1.0. Just download rtmpdump.exe and place it into the Replay Media Catcher directory. Then go to Tools -> Settings -> Plugins and add the following:

Code:

Protocol: RTMP

Url Match: bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net

Executable: rtmpdump.exe

Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}" --app "{app}" --flashVer "{flashVer}" --swfUrl "{swfUrl}" --tcUrl "{tcUrl}" --pageUrl "{pageUrl}" --playpath "{playPath}" -V

Note that this requires Replay Media Catcher 4.1.0

But you don't seem to need to use rtmpdump with Replay Media Catcher 4 anymore. At least the rtmp streams from BBC 4 that I tried were perfectly downloaded with RMC 4.1.1 in the RTMP Downloading Mode. It seems that URL detection takes longer, but RMC downloads much faster than in real time. And I was able to download multiple streams from BBC Radio 4 simulteneously.

Replay Media Catcher 3.11 can be installed on a Mac with WINE. You don't need a license for Windows or any virtual machine.

You can also download HTTP and RTMP streams with Jaksta for Mac

As for stream URLs, you can try to find them with freeware WireShark.

I have Wine, but Replay Media Catcher isn't free. I was looking for freeware. But WireShark sounds very interesting. I've downloaded it and will try it. Thanks.

How to download BBC videos (BBC News video; rtmp://)?

Hi,

I have been trying to download the video from this page.
_http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12709850

First Firefox plug-ins like DownloadHelper doesn't work. From other posts, it seems like BBC is using rtmp. I searched the loaded web page resources and nothing is found. So I fired up wireshark and capture the loading of the page, then using the display filter "rtmp || rtmpt". I found most of the info I need but it never captured the polypath info and so I couldn't use rtmpdump.

Another weird thing is that I repeated the wireshark capture a few times but I don't always get the same rtmp info's.

Is something wrong with my wireshark that the capture is flaky, or is this normal? Moreover, are there easier ways to capture videos from the BBC web site? Thanks!

Re: Issues with BBC iPlayer: Can't download rtmp:// streams anymore

If you guys are up for the challenge of using the commandline, you can get superb download ability by using get_iplayer. I've been using it for months and it work great, if on windows the binairy package should contain everything like ffmpeg, rtmpdump,etc

otherwise download rtmpdump from rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu
and ffmpeg from ffmpeg.org (or google ffmpeg binairy latest windows)

As said, I have been using it for quite a while on my mac (via Terminal.app) and I've already used it to downloaded over 160GB of TV series episodes of the BBC (technically it's more like over 120 because for programmes that are available in both SD and HD resolutions, I download both) so this past/latest Top Gear series 16 (broadcast between January 23rd and February 27th 2011) I do keep both, so for top gear that would be 630-odd-something MB for the SD-version and the 1,12/1,15GB for HD version.

Re: How to download BBC videos?

You can download RTMP streams with freeware CooJah + Blader, Orbit Downloader, StreamTransport or shareware Replay Media Catcher.

And you can try to capture RTMP streams in real time while you listen to them using freeware CooJah (without Blader), Orbit Grab Pro or shareware Replay Media Catcher.

If you use Linux, try rtmpdump with rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck.
