rtmpdump is not compatible with MySpace?

[KoryLifyddhb]

Hi,
I tried to used rtmpdump (Windows one) to download song from MySpace.
I performed following steps:
1. Run rtmpsrv.exe
2. Redirected all traffic for port 1935 to localhost.
3. Open http://www.myspace.com/diagonalleyband
4. rtmpsrv.exe returned following error:

RTMPDump v2.3
(c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL
Connecting ...
WARNING: HandShake: Type mismatch: client sent 6, server answered 8
INFO: Connected...
ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header

Command line follows:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://l3fms-music02.myspacecdn.com:1935/myspace-music02" -a "myspace-music02" -f "WIN 10,1,85,3" -W "http://lads.myspacecdn.com/videos/MSMusicPlayer.swf" -p "http://www.myspace.com/diagonalleyband" -C O:1 -C O:0 -y "mp3:183/std_a648310a02ce4981b971b1a296d5a301" -o std_a648310a02ce4981b971b1a296d5a301.flv

I tried multiple times with different songs, however, this error persists.
Is there any way to download MySpace music with rtmpdump now?

[placebo]

the correct command on a winxp-sp3 machine is:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://l3fms-music02.myspacecdn.com:1935/myspace-music02" -a "myspace-music02" -f "WIN 10,1,82,76" -W "http://lads.myspacecdn.com/videos/MSMusicPlayer.swf" -p "http://www.myspace.com/diagonalleyband" -C O:1 -C O:0 -y "mp3:25/std_ddcb5c6f3989c63d68d9b780b18ae261" -o std_ddcb5c6f3989c63d68d9b780b18ae261.flv

see screenshot:


i've uploaded the original file too for you to test and compare thanks.
ButterBeers and OWLS (8mins04secs).zip

you can extract the mp3 file with any good tool. i recommend FLVExtract.

(btw, there are more user-friendly ways to download myspace songs or videos. try GetFLV, for example!)

using rtmpdump with Replay Media Catcher is user-friendly too:

rtmpdump can be combined/integrated with Replay Media Catcher. but it is a challenge to make it work smoothly because the command for rtmpdump is extremely long (a long line, a single command) and RMC4 has problems handling such etc ...

it is more convenient to use GUI downloaders which are entirely based on rtmpdump, for example blader.exe (CJB). StreamTransport works too with myspace but i am not sure it ST is based on rtmpdump.

Thanks, people! It works now. So, the key for success was to use another flash version string in "-f" parameter.

hi. nope. the key to success was the editing back of your hosts file. for the rmtpsrv to work, you must edit the hosts file (, which you did!). then you press Ctrl+C to interrupt everything. and edit the hosts file back to its original state. finally the rtmpdump command (copy/paste the full single line) works.

anyway. congrats!

hi guys i just got ubuntu and when running the shell script via:

sh myspacedownloader.sh

it gives me an error of Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting "do")

personally I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to get this done in windows xp sp3 since that is what i use.

thanks

this is the link i want to download from:

http://www.myspace.com/yiruma/music/songs/river-flows-in-you-23016885

Can anyone list the detailed instructions via placebo's and KoryLifyddhb's method?

hi, your hosts file should look like this (edit and save it!):

~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 l3fms-music01.myspacecdn.com
~~~~~~~~~~~snap~~~~~~~~~~

then start rtmpsrv.exe, then goto your webpage, then play the §$%&! song, then check your command window. then press Alt+C (or Alt+X or etc.) to interrupt the rtmpsrv process. then your hosts file should look like this (edit and save it!):

~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~
127.0.0.1 localhost
# 127.0.0.1 l3fms-music01.myspacecdn.com
~~~~~~~~~~~snap~~~~~~~~~~

then copy/paste the full command to a new command line and run it, see screenshot. rtmpdump.exe will download your file. the following screenshot is self-explanatory, it shows everything.


take the flv file and, from it, extract the mp3 file with FLVExtract. you will see that the mp3 file is encoded in 96kbps and uses LAME3.96. well, that's what my mp3 tools report.

"Clouded topics"? .. guess why we write in this cloudy way! (myspace staff, emusic staff, thumbplay staff, zune staff, etc. .. they ALL read our topics and threads which are easily found with google search; so i better be careful what to disclose and what not)

Yiruma? wtf??! Another yiruma request or example or case, and i will ignore. i *ate yiruma music
