Recording RTMP Webcams from cam4(HowTo record XXX/adult web-cam videos from cam4.com)

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Have you tried to download cam4 videos with WM Recorder? It works fine with RTMP streams from this web-site.

RMC 4 can download as well as capture cam4 videos. Capturing RTMP streams is real time only, but will allow you to stay undetected.

Hi !

I've find this information of cam4 system

If you try this query
hxxp://www.cam4.com/direct?room=USER_ON_LINE&devenv=false

you get the rtmp link associated of this user!



So I've started rtmp :

rtmpdump -r rtmp://ipgetabove/playpath -y cam4-chatN  -f "LNX 10,0,32,18" -W http://www.cam4.com/client/Cam4_3.3.6.swf -p "http://www.cam4.com/direct?room=USER_ON_LINE&devenv=true" -V -a / -o rec.flv

###And this is Output ####

but still continue in this way...

You got any idea?

sorry if I could not go through all the 4 pages of information but capturing cam4.com streams is real easy I find.

1. get URL Snooper 2 and have it running on "search all" in advanced mode.
   
2. go to cam4 and click on any cam you like, you don't need to be logged in for this. for this example let's say we are on abc123's cam.
   
3. now check url snooper 2 for the real long either yrtmp or xrtmp URL like this one:
   

   yrtmp://85.17.127.81/cam4-origin29/_definst_/streams/90d6b3d9-b77f-4a8e-98eb-4a632324d9b5?e17228c3dc81384a39f82fd1e726ab28

   if the real long URL with the question mark in the middle does not come up straight away refresh the page and leave url snooper 2 running untill you get the real long URL, the other simple rtmp URLs won't do!
   
   note I am using the noscript addon in ff and only allow cam4.com and flush the cache with the clear cache addon if I don't get it at first, but I am not sure if that makes a difference. sometimes you get the long URL straight away sometimes you have to refresh the page a couple of times or quickly go to another broadcaster and come back and you will have it straight away.
   
4. pop that stream URL into this command line:
   
   

   rtmpdump -r "PUT THE REAL LONG yrtmp or xrtmp URL IN HERE" −v -o abc123.flv

5. done. you can now see other cams and snoop other yrtmp or xrtmp streams while it is recording abc123's cam. it will let you record as many cams as you like for as long as they broadcast. the file output is in flv format. you can play that with media player classic or any flv player, think vlc, mplayer and the likes will play it effortlessly.

hope this helps.

edit: rtmpdump will give you a warning but it will record the live stream perfectly, when ppl use hd cams you get the hd stream, when people use higher res cams you get the higher res stream no matter what resolution is show through the site, it is like you are directly recording off their cam without cam4.com in the middle actually.

if you have missing timestamps on the flv file look here some useful FLV tools:

• FLV MetaData Injector - Adds meta info to your Flash Video files
  
• FLV Player - play FLV files with freeware FLV players
  
• in case you want to do stuff with the flv files in virtualdub have a look here:
  FLVExtract - Extracts video and audio from FLV files without decompressing or recompressing

sidenote:
i think cam4.com was good for some time but now there is just boring people on there but that is just my opinion.

Latest GetFLV can download cam4.com videos. Please check it.

Hi everyone
I used this command to record cam4 streaming, but i'm having some problems...
when i run the command (with the "REAL LONG URL"), RTMPdump gives me the warning but then begin to "apparently" capture the streaming, since i see on the screen the seconds captured going on and the "size?" of the captured file increase.
the problem is that if i close the window, i simply cannot find the captured file (so, maybe, I don't capture anything, actually)
Can you help me?

Edit: Writing down this message i noticed that i do not have xrtmp nor yrtmp, but zrtmp, can this be the problem?

Thank you in advance, and sorry for my poor english

If people don't mind, then I'll post my Cam4 Downloader here as well, as this thread is the first result in Google when searching for how to record from Cam4.

Personally I was using the commercial Replay Media Catcher, but found out that with many videos the audio is out of sync, so I made my own Cam4 Downloader (basically a simplified version of RMC) that automatically sniffs out the rtmp url, extracts the title from your browser and downloads with librtmp.

WinPcap and at least .NET Framework 2.0 need to be installed. This tool was my made for myself and has so far only been used by myself, so I'm sure there still might be some bugs.

Note: You must start recording first and then load the Cam4 webpage/webcam or it won't detect the stream.

Supported browsers (to extract the title from):

Firefox
Chrome
Internet Explorer
Maxthon

When using an other browser a GUID will be returned as filename, for example "5A29D2E8-B9E6-4E15-BD39-6990461C4B44".

There's an "Audio" column that will tell you right away if there's an audio stream. If the broadcaster has audio turned on and you don't start the download when the broadcaster is making sound, then it can't detect an audio stream. In that case you must Cancel/Delete the download and reload the webpage until it contains an audio stream or the entire video won't have audio.

Make sure you put the application on a place where you have write permission. Streams will automatically be downloaded to a sub-folder named "Downloads". The download folder currently can't be changed in this version.

Please only use this tool for your own personal pleasure. Do not post the recorded streams on other websites.
