Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

(http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11032)

Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

There is a TV show cartoon that I watched as a kid that I'd love to rewatch. I finally found a television channel that shows it. But episodes of the show air at an extremely inconvenient time and I can't get the channel (so, no TiVo). When I emailed them about the show and purchasing it they said they doubt there will ever be a DVD.

Okay, and now the laughing at me part. It's a children's channel affiliated with the TBN network (yes, the televangelist thing). The cartoon was secular, though. I guess they liked its family values or relative wholesomeness or something?

I cannot for the life of me figure out the address of the stream so I can load it into VLC. Is there anyone with more advanced knowledge that can help me?

The link live children's channel is:
http://www.tbn.org/watch/syndication...atchOnline.htm

This is the SWF file attached to it, which when I open it apparently default loads the regular TBN stream... http://www.tbn.org/flash/hd_player_4...=tl&betamode=1

I don't know anything about SWF or how to find the address of the video files within it...

I didn't know if I knew the address of the stream I could someone record during the 30 minutes the show I want plays?

Help!

for VLC:

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp114426.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live" -a "live?ovpfv=2.1.5" -W "http://www.tbn.org/flash/hd_player_4x3.swf" --live -y "smile_mbr_high_1@59409?auth=get yours auth" | "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -

Auth can be taken with rtmpsuck or Coojah!!

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

I think I overestimated my abilities/understanding here. I've looked at the thread about RTMPDump and VLC... and I guess I don't understand the VLC program - at all. Where does the command go...? (Please refer me to the pages/reading where I can build up the knowledge I need, if necessary!)

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

First Download this!!
Extract all included files into one folder!!
Run rtmpexplorer, close rtmpsrv, and open rtmpsuck!! In rtmpexplorer, put webpage link in and click on go!! Take a look on rtmpsuck, it will get the playpath and starts downloading!! Now, Close both windows, and open command.bat via notepad!! Look at the pattern url that I have written in it!! replace your auth in it and save & close!! and then double click on command.bat!!

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

So, I did all that and clicked the Command.bat. It beeped and scrolled down a lot of nonsense text then closed...?

Also, after that I corrected the path for my VLC program - it's in "Program Files (x86)", but I got the same thing?

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

Oh, the stream even doesn't need auth!!

OK! right now, Delete everything in Command.bat and paste this script in it:

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp114426.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live" -a "live?ovpfv=2.1.5" -W "http://www.tbn.org/flash/hd_player_4x3.swf" --live -y "smile_mbr_high_1@59409" | "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

Yes! It works! And I have no idea what the crap I am watching right now... o.O

Thank you for your assistance! This has been very instructive!

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

Wait, now how to I save this with the Convert/Save option?

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

I don't know how to do this work with VLC!!
But you can download and save it with rtmpdump!! just replace

Code:

-o "TBN.flv"

instead of

Code:

| "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -

Notice: there is only one space between -y "smile_mbr_high_1@59409" and -o "TBN.flv"!!

Re: Don't Laugh, I'm Serious!

Excellent!

I'm going to have to do some independent research on VLC and scheduling, etc. :)

(From what I've read so far, I think I have to set up some .bat files that I schedule Windows to run).

I'm just missing what the "network url" I'm supposed to input is, when using VLC. :P

Or I guess actually I could just somehow schedule THIS .bat file to run at certain times, now that I think of it? I wonder if that is possible...
