Any luck grabbing files streamed through mediadirect.ro?

Hi guys.

As you know, most of Romania's TV streams go through the mediadirect.ro servers. Several TV stations broadcasting online use these servers now.

Examples - Antena 3 (hxxp://www.antena3.ro/live.php)

Code:

rtmpe://fms27.mediadirect.ro:1935/live2/antena3?id=28827566/antena_3_low

or Realitatea TV (hxxp://webtv.realitatea.net/live)

Code:

rtmpe://fms27.mediadirect.ro:80/live3?id=28827566&publisher=2/realitatea_low

and so on. They use Mediadirect's player

Code:

swfurl=http://static.mediadirect.ro/player-preload/swf/preloader/preloader.swf

- and up until a month ago there was no problem recording these streams by using either StreamTransport or Rtmpdump, the only parameter to be added in order to watch (or record) was live=true.

Now it seems they've added some sort of request to the server that only the original webpage of the transmission is supplying, as there's no alternative player or streamer that would work - also no recording either. After 30 seconds of recording, the connection breaks. Tried on GetFLV, StreamTransport, RTMPdump.

Any ideas?
