unable to record the program films itself

Only advertisements are still in .flv format.

Most of the actual films (program, trailers, etc are now in mp4 and avi format and seem to be split upon multiple servers.



Thus I ask has anyone developed a tool that can access and download the films on gametrailers NOT the commercials which are .mp4 and seemingly now fragmented into multiple pieces on multiple servers rather than a single file.

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

I've tried to download some videos from gametrailers.com using Replay Media Catcher 4 and didn't have any problem downloading HTTP .flv videos (SD as well as HD videos).

I didn't manage to find any RTMPE streams. Please post the URL of the web-page you're trying to record from.

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

I can't find any .flv files other than the commercials and a few of the promos. Where are you seeing .flv files for the TV shows?

ALL of the TV shows after June 2010.

here is a direct link for te December 10th 2010 TV show.

http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/111

I see no .flv files for the TV show, only the commercials.

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

Hmm, i was not even able to play that video - the commercial played just fine - then i just got a black screen. is it working for you now (Streaming, that is)

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

Yes the TV show plays fine in my oldest browser Mozilla 1.7 as well as my regular browser Firefox 3.6. I do not ever use M$IE. Again the final film SEEMS to be coming from 6 different sources as indicated by the streams coming into the sniffer

rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/331/t_gttv_331_d_rpt3_400.mp4
rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/331/t_gttv_331_d_rpt3_750.mp4
rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/331/t_gttv_331_d_rpt3_1200.mp4
rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/331/t_gttv_331_d_rpt3_1700.mp4
rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/331/t_gttv_331_d_rpt3_2200.mp4
rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/331/t_gttv_331_d_rpt3_3500.mp4

and then reknitted into the final film (here for the third segment) as well as now being a different file format namely .mp4

If this multiple source re-assembling technique is the new norm for streaming rather than using a signle source has anyone else encountered it before?

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

hi, there are quite a few other examples (websites, webpages) on this forum where multiple source re-assembling technique (i like that word!! :D) is used. the videos by NBA (basketball) subscriptions, the music by Deezer.com, the ..etc..

nothing new.

In such cases, i would suggest recording the video (or music) with a real-time software recorder. most recently i bought(!) a copy of Applian Replay Capture Suite (Applian RCS). It records everything for you! :cool:

And if you now begin to think that i am related to promoting their software products, then ..erh.. ;)

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

THen that is what we need

a software pack that does the re-assmbling for the client.

Thanks for the info but I was hoping that there was a software pack that allows one to get the source files as the source material is always better than a screen/video captuire.

if anyone finds a manner to access these sources or a new tool that can access the relay streams and reassemble as well, please let us know as that is the next step

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

i dislike screen capturing too. it's either bad quality or large files. i prefer the original source files too.

Esar, maybe you know of any tool which re-assembles the chunks? :)

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

I tried to find URLs from the following page:
hxxp://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/111

There were 4 URLs for 4 parts of the episode:
There were also other URLs. They are for the same first part of the episode, but all have different quality
Replay Media Catcher doesn't support RTMPE streams anymore:
As of January 28, 2009, any newly installed copy of Replay Media Catcher does not support Adobe Secure RTMP Measures.

But you can use RTMPE recorders like freeware CooJah + Blader. Blader worked just fine for me.

The player highlights each part of the episode, and you can forward to the beggining of each part to find its URL.

You can join videos afterwards if you want. Or you can just create a playlist instead.

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

Good job, SR.
The playlist is also a good idea!
so good luck customer20983 :D

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

blader failed for me a SECOND time

the software stated the response of:

Looks like that RTMP downloading failed. Latest
Coojah supports RTMP recording. Click the link
below to learn how to record RTMP by CooJah.


I have tried to use CooJah and stripped it off my system as it is NOT a good program FOR ME. The video tutorials is no longer on the pointed links of

http://www.hensence.com/cn/coojah/re...h_tutorial.avi

Anyone have any other reliable EASY to use programs something at least along the lines of Orbit? Orbit Downloader seems to be the more refined of the RTMP recorders but of course it does NOT work when I tested it for gametrailers.com TV reports.


If you can inform me of the manner by which you were able to get it operational if your system is NOT using M$IE I would be appreciative of any further assistence.

If you are M$IE then I have to wait on a better RTMP recording software package that works in foxfire/mozilla and forget it for the present time.

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

I couldn't make CooJah to work for a long time.

Orbit Downloader is easy to use for savvy computer users. It is a very complex program for noobs. And fails often when downloading RTMP streams, no wonder commercial tools like Replay Media Catcher are so popular.

And Orbit doesn't support RTMPE streams, so won't help here. You need to use RTMPE recorders instead.

Won't suggest any RTMP recording tools.

Re: Replay Media Catcher limits -- mp4, avi on Gametrailers.com

 

my apologies, the board software accidentally deleted the other gamertrailers thread (started by customer20983). so let's keep it this way: one single thread for the subject "gametrailers.com - plz heeeelp me with recording their game trailers büüäähh!!" :p
if you have problems with catching or downloading their streams, then report/post your problems here (e.g. URL Snooper2 doesnt catch anymore, ..), thanks.

Re: How to find RTMPE stream URLs

 

You are doing better than I am as I get complete fails with the softwares listied here. I will have to wipe (low reformat my hard drive again and try the hex demical dump but at this point I have no real hope as all I get are the fololwing results

gametrailers.com



URL Snooper 2 .29 -- fail (rtmpe streams specific, NOT .flv)

GetFLV -- fail (rtmpe streams specific, NOT .flv)

NetTransport -- fail

HiDownload -- fail

CooJah 6 -- fail

streamCapture -- fail

Re: How to find RTMPE stream URLs

 

I assume that you want to get the url from http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/103 based on the cap you posted.

Some of the software above must work because it's just a simple HTTP stream,you put in 'rtmp' as keyword in URL Snooper,so you wouldn't find anything anyway.

The video link is
http://trailers.gametrailers.com/gt_..._323_v3hi8.flv


As for the 2nd website,i cant access it outside of US so i cant test.

Re: How to find RTMPE stream URLs

 

No. As listed by " boneramous lugayness " above, you can see his screen cap lists

rtmpe://--------------.mp4

urls on MTV. I have used all of the listed softwares and found that only on a few sites do they still access rtmpe urls. Most of these freewares FAIL on displays rtmpe urls now such as MTV music video streams and gametrailers.com which are STILL using rtmpe but are now encryped in such a way that they are no longer detectable by these systems.

I am presently going through the long hex dump capture process and hoping it is not a waste of time after being told that jaksta still works and finding it does NOT work for gametrailers or MTV music videos though still works for some rtmpe sites.

Re: How to find RTMPE stream URLs

 

Instead of software you tested, use freeware RTMPexplorer, paid GetFLV, freeware rtmpsrv.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

@customer20983
post a particular testpage url (video link!) and we'll be glad to test it and download your GAME TRAILER video ;)

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

I.ve also tried URL Snooper with the gametrailers URL and i can confirm that it is not working for me, if i go for the manually scan. However if i sniff my network after playing just a little peace of the trailer i end up with a bunch of "rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/407/t_gttv_407_a_3n2i6_400.mp4".
How can i download these url to my HD so i can watch the eps on my pc.

These are some valid gamtrailers URLs:

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

with the RTMPexplorer i'm getting this error:
"ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len: 14091432"
Does anybody has any idea why this happened or better yet how to fix this.
i'm verry new to this .

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

rtmpdump -r rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mp4:spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/407/t_gttv_407_a_3n2i6_3500 -W http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.1.8.2.swf -o output.flv

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Thanks for your quick reply.
After entering the command i end up with a output.flv of 0kb.
A closer look to the console window shows a error "ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed."
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i'm using Windows.
Can it be?

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

you need to be using correct version of rtmpdump. i tested it with r568 and it is working

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Thanks every one, that did the trick for me downloading the r568 version.
Is there any way of configure rtmpdump to use a specific amount of memory?
I can see that the clip is being downloaded but after awhile i see a message saying that windows is running low on virtual memory and a check to the task manager shows a bunch of rtmdump process while i only opened the rtmpexplorer who has opened one rtmpdump. Even increase windows virtual memory i still get this error.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Remmy
You can try to close the RTMPexplorer window as soon as rtmpsrv grabs the stream.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

It will only download the first peace when closing the the rtmpexplorer windows. The good thing about it is that i didn't get the memory error. The bad thing is that i can never download the hole eps like this.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

when rtmpsrv closes the connection on client side their client makes new request again and new rtmpdump process is started for each cmd and when this keeps going on you will soon run out of memory. solution is to close the rtmpexplorer as soon as rtmpsrv grabs the first url.

you can copy the command from rtmpsrv and manually launch rtmpdump.

replace _750 or whatever bitrate number you get, with _3500 to download HD version.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Thanks i tried this but it also leave me with one clip of 5 min.
But now i have the base command. I will use URL Snooper to get the links and then download them manually.
From the base command i will change the letter( t_gttv_407_a_) and offcourse the output name.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Yeah they split videos in multiple parts. you need to download them all (normally 4) to get the whole episode.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Is any one else having trouble downloading the gametrailers GTTV clips. All of sudden i'm getting these errors
"ERROR: rtmp server sent error
ERROR: rtmp server requested close"

i'm using the following commands:
rtmpdump -r rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mp4:spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/510/gttv_510_a_j4ndb5_3500 -W http://media.mtvnservices.com/player...ime.1.12.1.swf -o GTTV_eps_febs_17a.flv
rtmpdump -r rtmpe://cp74787.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mp4:spikecomstor/contentstore/getStream/gt/gttv/510/gttv_510_a_j4ndb5_3500 -W http://media.mtvnservices.com/player...rime.1.8.2.swf -o GTTV_eps_febs_17a.flv

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

same here, got the error message, it's pretty weird since there is no problem like this before. using ver 2.4..

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

i've tried different versions all has the same problem. while a lot of post on the net state that with version 2.4 it should work.
And version 2.4 does support RTMPE type 9 handshakes. Unless the code i'm using is wrong, i don't understand what is going wrong and most important why.
Can anybody shed some light in to this?

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Do you have a download link for windows?

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Thanks for the link "Bahman".
I'm not familiar with compiling binaries on Windows. how do i compile them or build the new exe file.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

Thnaks for the link Chap

@aaroz88: i figure out your problem your missing the -s (flag SWFURL) and the resume flag(--resume). I've tested it with your link and could download the clip completely. The only down side of this method, is that while using the resume flag it will not automatically resume, you still have to execute the command until it completes the clip.
Can you explain the "-a "ondemand?ovpfv=2.1.4"" in your command. I'm using "URLSnooper 2" to sniff for the necessary URL segment, but i didn't find the "ovpfv=2.1.4".

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

use
rtmpexplorer;)

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

@Remmy, I just stumble upon this thread:-

http://stream-recorder.com/forum/sho...21&postcount=6

Am alternative to 'rtmpexplorer' like chap suggested.

Re: Gametrailers.com - capture and record game trailers

 

swfvfy command is needed for the download to be stable without frequent interruption but now we only have problem with SWF Verification Type 2 which the patch did not come out yet.. :(
