Redbull.TV video; unknown stream format

[konika]

Greetings all,

I would like to archive a video that is playing on Red Bull's TV site.

The link is: http://www.redbull.tv/episodes/AP-1GJ41Q2H92111/belief

The video plays in Flash, and I'm not able to find out the source of the video. I tried using a few of the suggested programs listed in the 'before you post' thread, including Replay Media Catcher 6, MediaBox, and Coojah v6.8.

Maybe I don't know how to use the software (after reading a few tutorial and guides), but none seem to want to pull out the stream to download.

If anyone could please offer a little guidance on how I can download this streaming video, I would really appreciate it!

Many thanks!

hi

rtmp protocol you can use rtmpdump + rtmpdumphelper

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp250155.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand" -a "ondemand?videoId=4013428636001&lineUpId=&pubId=2635130829001&playerId=2805132806001&affiliateId=" -f "LNX 17,0,0,134" -W "http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us20150514.1307/federatedVideoUI/BrightcovePlayer.swf" -p "http://www.redbull.tv/episodes/AP-1GJ41Q2H92111/belief" -y "mp4:media/2635130829001/201501/603/2635130829001_4013578705001_MI201403030016-mpeg-4-hd-high-1080p-8mbits.mp4?videoId=4013428636001&lineUpId=&pubId=2635130829001&playerId=2805132806001&affiliateId=" -o "2015-06-07_11-36-53_2635130829001_4013578705001_MI201403030016-mpeg-4-hd-high-1080p-8mbits.flv"

Many thanks to you both for the fast replies. I was able to download the file with the link provided at the full resolution.

If I may ask, in the interest of learning, how were you able to determine the URL for this video?

1) find embed brightcove url
tools: firefox, adblockplus addon


2) use this url with youtube-dl
tool: youtube-dl

youtube-dl -F "http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us20150514.1307/BrightcoveBootloader.swf?playerID=null&playerKey=AQ%7E%7E%2CAAACZYoJeMk%7E%2C6-AuiH-yar7vhFK8T1lKHxOJlJLkWYk4&purl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redbull.tv%2Fepisodes%2FAP-1GJ41Q2H92111%2Fbelief&%40videoPlayer=MI201403030016&autoStart=true&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&chromecastBridge=bright0&debuggerID=&element=%5Bobject+HTMLDivElement%5D&flashID=bright0&height=100%25&includeAPI=true&isUI=true&isVid=true&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redbull.tv%2Fepisodes%2FAP-1GJ41Q2H92111%2Fbelief&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redbull.tv%2Fepisodes%2FAP-1GJ41Q2H92111%2Fbelief&logoHover=Watch+on+RedBull.TV&onsiteSettings=true%2Ctrue%2Cfalse%2Ctrue&player=AQ%7E%7E%2CAAACZYoJeMk%7E%2C6-AuiH-yar7vhFK8T1lKHxOJlJLkWYk4&showNoContentMessage=false&socialHover=Share&startTime=1433771486069&templateLoadHandler=rbtv.brightPlayerTemplateLoadHandler&type=episode&video=MI201403030016&width=100%25&wmode=transparent"
