Comedy Central rtmpsrv problems

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to download these web-only skits from The Daily Show but with little luck...
http://thedailyshow.cc.com/features/...pondentcentral
I've tried with rtmpsrv and rtmpdump to get this right but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Partially following this tutorial and my general knowledge of RTMP this is what I've done. I should note I have a Mac with Yosemite so I tried to adapt as well I could.

1. Replaced 127.0.0.1 localhost in the hosts-file with 127.0.0.1 cp9950.edgefcs.net
2. Snooped with rtmpsrv:

Code:

$ rtmpsrv

RTMP Server v2.4

Streaming on rtmp://0.0.0.0:1935



rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp9950.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.comedystor/com/dailyshow/TDS/exclusives" -a "ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.comedystor/com/dailyshow/TDS/exclusives" -f "MAC 15,0,0,189" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/[[IMPORT]]/livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.85.0.21474/LivePassModuleMain.swf" -p "http://thedailyshow.cc.com/features/correspondentcentral" -y "mp4:Best_Improv_Piece1_1280x720_3500_h32.mp4" -o mp4_Best_Improv_Piece1_1280x720_3500_h32.flv



Closing connection... done!

ERROR: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.

3. Reverted changes made in host file back to 127.0.0.1 localhost
4. Executing the command I got from rtmpsrv:

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp9950.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.comedystor/com/dailyshow/TDS/exclusives" -a "ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.comedystor/com/dailyshow/TDS/exclusives" -f "MAC 15,0,0,189" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/[[IMPORT]]/livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.85.0.21474/LivePassModuleMain.swf" -p "http://thedailyshow.cc.com/features/correspondentcentral" -y "mp4:Best_Improv_Piece1_1280x720_3500_h32.mp4" -o mp4_Best_Improv_Piece1_1280x720_3500_h32.flv

RTMPDump v2.4

ERROR: RTMP_HashSWF: swfurl http://media.mtvnservices.com/[[IMPORT]]/livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.85.0.21474/LivePassModuleMain.swf not found

WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 9

INFO: Connected...

ERROR: rtmp server sent error

ERROR: rtmp server requested close

At this point it looked pretty clear to me what was the issue at hand, the swfurl. I tried again but instead of

Code:

http://media.mtvnservices.com/[[IMPORT]]/livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.85.0.21474/LivePassModuleMain.swf

I changed it to

Code:

http://livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.85.0.21474/LivePassModuleMain.swf

This got rid of the not found error, but I still got the same response:

Code:

INFO: Connected...

ERROR: rtmp server sent error

ERROR: rtmp server requested close

Also, these are a few alternative things I've tried that didn't work:
get-flash-video - does not recognize video
youtube-dl - does not recognize video
GetFLV - works but only downloads 1-3% then crashes, I tried with several versions

Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on?
