Capture "long" non-live YT streaming

(http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14004)

Capture "long" non-live YT streaming

Trying to capture "longish" youtube video that is likely being streamed, but is not a live stream. Video Download helper does not recognize and as such will not "download".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg3YDN5gTX0&hd=1

So I tried several of the URLs presented in the Net web console, but always get:
"Invalid data found when processing input" from ffmpeg (see a full output at end of post)

FWIW, I used the same methods as described in this thread: http://stream-recorder.com/forum/cap...ffmpeg+youtube

But have not had success yet.

Any insight?

Code:

$ ffmpeg -i "http://www.youtube.com/player_204?el=detailpage&scoville=1&partnerid=35&v=Yg3YDN5gTX0&fmt=35&st=0&plid=AATLzGYoGf1e2i78&sprot=1&event=streaming&rt=1.322&sl=1.320&fv=LNX%2011,2,202,243&fexp=927104,922401,912706,912806,920704,927201,913546,901419,900816,920201,913556,925109,919003" -c copy out.ts

This is what I get

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://v24.nonxt6.c.youtube.com/videoplayback" -a "videoplayback" -f "WIN 11,4,402,287" -W "http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vflVJZw7d.swf" -p "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg3YDN5gTX0&hd=1" -y "sparams=gcr%2Cid%2Citag%2Crtmpe%2Csource%2Cexpire&fexp=919109%2C904822%2C929201%2C927104%2C922401%2C920704%2C912806%2C913546%2C913556%2C925109%2C919003%2C920201%2C912706%2C900816%2C911112&key=yt1&itag=35&sver=3&source=youtube&gcr=BE&expire=1349999546&signature=48B8697C73C0A93A63C7A4E0E28DB980A0A35915.8C7B33B33E4F1E408A7EB7D91DE4D9D77AF28EE0&rtmpe=yes&id=620dd80cde604d7d?ptchn=BBCWorldwide&ptk=bbcworldwide" -o "12-10-12_01-47-29_sparams=gcr%2Cid%2Citag%2Crtmpe%2Csource%2Cexpire&fexp=919109%2C904822%2C929201%2C927104%2C922401%2C920704%2C912806%2C913546%2C913556%2C925109%2C919003%2C920201%2C912706%2C900816%2C911112&key=yt1&itag=35&sver=3&source=youtube&gcr=BE&expire=1349999546&signature=48B8697C73C0A93A63C7A4E0E28DB980A0A35915.8C7B33B33E4F1E408A7EB7D91DE4D9D77AF28EE0&rtmpe=yes&id=620dd80cde604d7d.flv

Even with rtmpsuck, I can't download it.

Code:

WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 10

WARNING: HandShake: Server not genuine Adobe!

ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.

I thought BBC used to be public tv station financed by tv fee.

Re: Capture "long" non-live YT streaming

Thanks for the replies all...

I let the video run with web console running and notice that every minute or more a new "GET http://s.youtube.com/..." and/or "GET http://s2.youtube.com/..." occurs. I won't post the log as it's rather large.

svnpenn: The result of rtmpdump is interesting. Had not though to check that, so thanks for that info.

Getflv, if capable of "getting" a "protected" video like this, must be doing something that we too can accomplish on linux.

If anyone has any other insights, please post.

In the mean time, I'm going to continue to hack at this and do some homework. Getflv and windows is not a solution for me.

Thanks.
