Replay Media Catcher blocks RTMPTE | finding exact url to use with rtmpdump

[crk]

Hi,

I'm trying to download a flv from this website:

http://www.schooltv.nl/beeldbank/clip/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05

I've tried to download it with rtmpdump-WIN32-1.6.exe but it fails to parse the url correctly... according to the source code of the page, the url is build from the following flashvar:

<param name="FlashVars" value="streamer=rtmpte://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&amp;file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv&amp;width=340&amp;height=280&amp;fullscreen=true&amp;debug=on&amp;log=http://nl.sitestat.com/klo/schooltv/s?clip.20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.player&amp;gapro.accountid=UA-2590926-2&amp;controlbar=bottom&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.schooltv.nl%2Fbeeldbank%2Fmmbase%2Fimages%2F1933573&amp;gapro-1">

I've tried:

rtmpdump-WIN32-1.6.exe -r "rtmpte://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv"  -o test.flv

But that doesn't seem to work.


I've also tried Replay Media Catcher 3.0.2 with plugin_zrtmp.dll 5.3.6.9.
But when I start recording, I'm unable to play the video through my browser... I'm getting "Stream not found: video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv"... which is very weird...It seems like Replay Media Catcher is blocking the stream...
edit:turned of Capture HTTP Media Streams from the settings menu... video plays, but no recording...


Can someone help me to get the original url or to get Replay Media Catcher working without it blocking the stream...


edit:
I have narrowed the html code down to this:

<object class="flashobject" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://download.omroep.nl/teleacnot/shared/swf/beeldbank/player.swf" width="340" height="280">
	<param name="movie" value="http://download.omroep.nl/teleacnot/shared/swf/beeldbank/player.swf">
	<param name="FlashVars" value="streamer=rtmpte://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&amp;file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv">
</object>

notice the flashvar with the rtmpte. If I change this to rtmpt (without the e, so no encryption), I can still play the video.

HTML code is now:

<object class="flashobject" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://download.omroep.nl/teleacnot/shared/swf/beeldbank/player.swf" width="340" height="280">
	<param name="movie" value="http://download.omroep.nl/teleacnot/shared/swf/beeldbank/player.swf">
	<param name="FlashVars" value="streamer=rtmpt://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&amp;file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv">
</object>

Now Replay Media Catcher detects the stream but tells me: "SWF Verification detected"
Using Jaksta, I'm able to record the video! It gives me:

Recording of rtmpt://fmss.teleac.nl/media/<break>video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv
Download file: 4f10d7d8-63ab-45e0-bfb8-7c037f6597fd.flv

Detecting file name ...

Which is good, but I still want to know what the direct url is, so I can use rtmpdump, which is free...

thanks

I don't really know how to make rtmpdump downloading RTMPE/RTMPT streams from schooltv.nl. You can try to use parameters required for streams with SWF Verification.

I tried doing SWF verification using flasm and openssl, but I'm still getting: "stream not found" probably the playpath or some other parameter is incorrect

try Replay Media Catcher with the old rtmp plugin

Replacing rtmp plugin

1. Disconnect the internet
2. Replace the new plugin with this
3. Start Replay Media Catcher (RMC)
4. then reconnect the internet and start to capture

[flysub]

with rtmpdump try this way:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv" -o test.flv

[crk]

I finally found what I was doing wrong

As an rtmp server is different from a direct http link, you have to pass the rtmp server to rtmpdump AND the file to stream.

I misinterpreted the flashvar:
value="streamer=rtmpt://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv"

That's not one flashvar, these are TWO flashvars
value="streamer=rtmpt://fmss.teleac.nl/media/&file=video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv"

So
streamer: rtmpt://fmss.teleac.nl/media/
file: video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05.flv

So to download it using rtmpdump, I needed this command:

rtmpdump --rtmp rtmpt://fmss.teleac.nl/media --playpath /video/20071205_wiskundemeisjes05. --port 80 --swfVfy http://download.omroep.nl/teleacnot/shared/swf/beeldbank/player.swf -o video.flv

(added the swfVerify to avoid problems)

Hope this helps others to ;-)

If you're Dutch and you want an easy tool to download from SchoolTv.nl, I created an GUI for RTMPdump http://neat.be/schooltvdownloader/
