Finding rtmpe url's on a mac system?
Maybe let's first find mac users lol on a SRF system!

How about running a virtual box (Windows emulator) on your mac?

Maybe a virtual box will be the way to go...but I want to try and do this natively first. I've compiled rtmpdump and rtmpsrv, just have to work out how to redirect the traffic... <grabs another red bull>

i can watch the testvideo in standalone Firefox4 (or latest 3.x), on system1 and on system2.
i cannot watch the testvideo in GetFLV 9.0.0.7, no matter which browser is the default browser (on system1 or on system2):

i think that the bad html coding (javascript errors, etc.) of the Kelby webpages works as "protection against GetFLV" . any testpage url (video link!) results in webpage error messages, in GetFLV and in Internet Explorer 8.

system1 and system2 are identically setup windowsxp-sp3 systems (parallel boot machine).

Latest GetFLV can download kelbytraining videos if you can watch them in Internet Explorer.

You can also run Linux like Ubuntu on a VirtualBox. Or use dual boot for Mac OS and Ubuntu.

I've used RTMPExplorer with success for a while (I'm a registered user of Kelby Training) and now all of a sudden rtmpexplorer displays:
We are experiencing a problem with the database.
Here is the message returned:

A connection could not be made to the server.
"(2013) Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111"

I tried the latest version of Getflv and it gives me the same message. What's going on? (Navigating with Firefox works without issue..)

hi Sokaris. i am not subscribed to kelby, i dont watch kelby and i dont like kelby. i dont download kelby. but my work on SRF is to investigate the most convenient ways how to pirate kelby videos.

First of all, let's repeat and state that it is still possbile to download their streams even without any subscription, e.g. with RTMPDump and the following command:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://stream.kelbymediagroup.com/ondemand" -a "ondemand" -f "WIN 10,2,159,1" -W "http://media.kelbymediagroup.com/players/player-4.6-licensed.swf" -p "http://www.kelbytraining.com/player/" -y "indesign_photogs/day8" -o day8.flv

this url is a random url taken from the original howto post.

Second of all... i cant view Kelby videos in my Internet Explorer (different versions) browser and there's some issue with Kelby webpages. And because of those webpage issues my GetFLV doesnt play the kelby videos (and therefore cant capture the urls or download them). This means i cannot find out what the problem is. Even if RTMPexplorer fails ..., rtmpdump still can download the url (as long as you know the url). That is most important!

We will have to observe if the situation changes, worsens, ..

Probably have employee, for security reasons. Old fired the same?
And they read this forum too.

Hmm...did you try that code in the last couple of days? It worked for me earlier in the week but has been failing in the last 24/48 hours.

I was wondering if Kelby had changed something on their end recently...

it's definitely not Sokaris, chap or placebo. Or getflv.

Command is still working. if RTMPexplorer is not working then use the host redirection method.

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://stream.kelbymediagroup.com/ondemand" -a "ondemand" -f "WIN 10,2,159,1" -W "http://media.kelbymediagroup.com/players/player-4.6-licensed.swf" -p "http://www.kelbytraining.com/player/" -y "indesign_photogs/day8" -o day8.flv
