Problem with recording rtsp:// .RM streaming Real Video on Mac OSX...Is it protected?

hello!

i'm workin' on a macbook (Mac OS X.5) and having problems in recording a realvideo rtsp://.RM stream:

http://stream.uni-wuppertal.de/ramgen/33riedl.rm

realplayer shows following clip source:

http://127.0.0.1:8145/template.html?nuyhtgmz475fmhpih8dnbfzgDis9xfpw1j9fcprnbgdy5EygpnA2meckhi4eazx7DfrszbngxkacrfDia6n5mnhpreo9j3re6bAjbg4t3p4euj28Dfwiz6wfb306um

i use terminal with the mplayer -dumpstream command, but connection is refused and i get a 4kB file...

can anyone help me out?

thanks in advanced!

You may try packet sniffers to find real stream URLs.

On a web-site like this you can also do the following:

• right-click on a .RAM link and "Save target as...".
• open the save .RAM metafile with any text editor.
• copy stream url to the clipboard
• paste the url in your stream recorder

The stream URL will look like the following one

rtsp://132.195.249.65/33riedl.rm?cloakport=80,554

As for

http://127.0.0.1/

it is the address of your own computer ... used by your own computer


Try to record this stream with the latest versions of MPlayer and VLC ...... and start using Windows XP on your Mac with bootcamp or Parallels Desktop for Max OS X

Thanks a lot man... works fine now!

I have to admit that tryin to rip it of my own computer was a stupid idea

hi i was able to follow till the bit where i copy and paste the url (rtsp://128.240.229.9:554/europsy/tatt.rm?cloakport=80,554) in my windows media player but, still it pops an error saying 'Cannot play the file back. The format is invalid.'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

rtsp:// .rm is a Real Media stream. Windows Media Player doesn't have to support that Try Real Player. You may also try to use it with Windows Media Player, but you need to install Real Alternative first.
