How to record HTTP/RTMP .FLV flash stream from nhl.tv? Don't know if it is possible

[djlethal]

Much thanks to the guy who helped me with the TSN one, but for this one, i have tried almost all the recorders that i have and nothing seems to work. Some look like they get a link, but the link never ends up working.

Here is the problem though. The link is

http://www.nhl.tv/team/console?product=SEASON

and for this particular site,
you must be logged in to view the videos (as you can see if you visit the link).
But, even if a give you my name and password you still wouldn't be able to view them due to IP restrictions.
So this leaves me having to describe the way these videos work.

You click on the desired video, and it plays on the screen to the left. Now, this is where i have problems. Every recorder i tried cannot seem to grab the correct video file link.

For example - Replay AV just gives this for the video:

http://nhl.cdn.neulion.net/s/nhl/vod/flv/Open_05_21_08_sd.flv?eid=XXXXX&pid=XXXXX&gid=XXXXX&e=XXXXXXXXXX&h=XXYXXXXYYYYYYXXXXXYXYXXYYYXYXXYY

Replay Media Catcher doesn't catch any files at all.

And Orbit Downloader is giving me this:

rtmp://hfms.neulion.net:1935/team/s|team/s|nhl/svod/flv/3_326_dal_det_ch1_0_2_4_FL8_sd?eid=18276&pid=18276&gid=3000&uid=6369&e=1211420844&h=3e493512c4da7a7e966e5ffadfa3bb9c|http://www.nhl.tv/team/scripts/nhlciplayer.swf|http://www.nhl.tv/team/console?product=SEASON|rtmp://hfms.neulion.net/team/s/nhl/svod/flv/3_326_dal_det_ch1_0_2_4_FL8_sd.flv?eid=18276&pid=18276&gid=3000&uid=6369&e=1211420844|3e493512c4da7a7e966e5ffadfa3bb9c|6369|3000|18276&OBT_fname=3_326_dal_det_ch1_0_2_4_FL8_sd%3Feid%3D18276%26pid%3D18276%26gid%3D3000%26uid%3D6369%26e%3D1211420844%26h%3D3e493512c4da7a7e966e5ffadfa3bb9c.flv

It looks like that last one has some clues in it, but to me nothing worked.

So my question is pretty obvious, but i know it's hard to understand when you don't have the actual videos to see. If you want any pictures or maybe even a screen capture of it all, let me know. I have a strong feeling that it's like the thread a few down from this one.

There are four RTMP Flash stream recorders. None of them is perfect, so you should try all of them.

In theory FLV Recorder should be able to capture packets coming to your flash player even if the stream is protected. However it doesn't work for me. Even if it does, it produces unplayable .@@@ file. Anyway it is worth trying it.

Hopefully other developers will offer the same way of capturing RTMP streams that FLV Recorder has, and hopefully it will be much more reliable.
