Recording from http://www.tcm.com/watchtcm ?

[svdze]

Hello, I'm new to stream recording; can anyone please help me save streams from the movies listed at : http://www.tcm.com/watchtcm/movies ? You have to be a cable subscriber with access to the channel in order to test. I have tried a few methods already, but I don't really know what I'm doing. I believe the specific auth codes are traceable to me, so I'd rather not post them here on a public forum, however if anyone is willing to help I will be glad to pm them to you. Here's some of the info that rtmpsuck pulls:

WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 9
ERROR: WriteN, RTMP send error 10054 (4108 bytes)
Closing connection... done!

Sometimes the error is slightly different:

WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 9
ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header
Closing connection... done!

In either case, the video continues to play in the browser / flash player, but isn't downloaded by rtmpsuck. Any help would be appreciated. In addition to my specific auth codes, I could try to pm any other info that might help solve the problem (extended logs, packet-sniffing data, etc). The site uses a cookie with some info as well. I tried searching the swfs for 'secureToken' but didn't see it anywhere.

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated They don't leave the videos up for very long, so I'd love to be able to archive them!

EDIT: The auth tokens are generated freshly each session, which makes it particularly difficult to try with rtmpdump directly. If the stream is still open in a web browser, it seems to reject a second request with duplicate auth, but the Auth tokens seem to expire quickly as well. I think using a proxy method is my best bet like I was trying with rtmpsuck, but of course even then I don't know the trick to get it working.

Thanks for the question / offer, but unfortunately in addition to login and pass, you have to be connecting from a subscriber IP, so there's no point in just providing those. If you'd like, I could try to set up a proxy or teamviewer and pm you the details at some time that is convenient for you to see if you can figure out what is causing my problems.

I've also been able to get a little bit of success now with rtmpsuck, but I'm not sure why it works when it does and doesn't when it doesn't. If I just keep trying a few times, it will start recording the stream. However, even when it does, it seems to fail eventually. So far, it's given me two corrupt or incomplete files. I know that it's possible to resume by adding the '-e' option, but I'm not sure if I can do that with rtmpsuck. I've been unable to get rtmpdump to work directly, it always just throws an error.

The flash player for tcm coughs up .m3u8 links as well for ipad/mobile use.
