Help Downloading an RTMP Stream from Flash Video Object

I read the stickies. I consider myself techsavy yet new to the video streaming world. Had a question about what command line I would use to download a video from the following example object....

The video players code looks like the following:

Code:

<object id="mediaplayer" width="100%" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://yeah.com/assets/js/player.swf" bgcolor="#000000" name="mediaplayer" tabindex="0">

<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true">

<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">

<param name="seamlesstabbing" value="true">

<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

<param name="flashvars" value="netstreambasepath=http%3A%2F%2Fyeah.com%2Fmembers%2Fvideos&id=mediaplayer&smoothing=true&bufferlength=10&skin=http%3A%2F%2Fyeah.com%2Fassets%2Fjs%2Fminima12.zip&file=mp4%3A81NlloBFFTwuv7H7We19%2Fja7HWrvj0gA8RzcPGc2l8crly3UcHXwQ&streamer=rtmpe%3A%2F%2Fs3.pepper.com%3A1937%2Fvideo&image=http%3A%2F%2Fyeah.com%2Fassets%2Fimg%2Fplayer.jpg&u=zdanman&controlbar.position=over">

</object>

Translated for the readers convenience, it contains the following parameters:

Code:

data="http://yeah.com/assets/js/player.swf"

netstreambasepath="http://yeah.com/members/videos"

id="mediaplayer"

smoothing="true"

bufferlength="10"

skin="http://yeah.com/assets/js/minima12.zip"

file="mp4:81NlloBFFTwuv7H7We19/ja7HWrvj0gA8RzcPGc2l8crly3UcHXwQ"

streamer="rtmpe://s3.pepper.com:1937/video"

image="http://yeah.com/assets/img/player.jpg"

u="zdanman"

controlbar.position="over"

:cool:

What parameters would I put in the command line (running rtmpdump from command prompt)?

I tried the following:

Code:

F:\rtmp\rtmpdump-2.3-windows>rtmpdump.exe -r "rtmp://s3.pepper.com:1937/video" -o "f:\temp.flv"

Which returned...

Code:

RTMPDump v2.3

ERROR: You must specify a playpath (--playpath) or url (-r "rtmp://host[:port]/playpath") containing a playpath

Please help!!!

K so here is an update.... I tried the following command line and it came up with the following verbose output ('similar' to the following):

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://s3.pepper.com:1937/video" -p "http://yeah.com/members/videos" -W "http://yeah.com/assets/js/player.swf" -y "mp4:8

1NlloBFFTwuv7H7We19/ja7HWrvj0gA8RzcPGc2l8crly3UcHXwQ" -o "test234.flv" -V

The main line of focus is where it says:

What gives?

hi
1) please include link to the web-page with video
2) you use RTMPDump v2.3 it's an old version

Re: Help Downloading an RTMP Stream from Flash Video Object

Figured it out due to a genius on this forum. They know who they are.

They let me know I was missing 2 things....

1. add the security token with the -T command line switch

example: -T "^056%5KPl{FCy"

They said you can find this token via different ways.... one way is here:

http://stream-recorder.com/forum/can...en-t18788.html

2. use the -C switch to send an arbitrary string containing the username to the RTMP server (im assuming)...

example: -C S:zdanman

So the final command line looked like this...

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r "rtmpe://s3.pepper.com:1937/video" -W "http://yeah.com/assets/js/player.swf" -p "http://yeah.com/members/videos" -y "mp4:81NlloBFFTwuv7H7We19/ja7HWrvj0gA8RzcPGc2l8crly3UcHXwQ" -T "^056%5KPl{FCy" -C S:zdanman -o "test234.flv"

Thanks a BUNCH!!!

[Edit]

Also forgot to add that I'm using the latest RTMP found here...
