RTMPexplorer won't work anymore at bigflix.

I use Win7 32bit OS. I downloaded latesr RTMPdump 2.4. The message I am getting after the movie url is tracked is:

What's your correct video link?

Code:

-p "http://www.bigflix.com/home/movies/xyz/0000"

That's wrong link completely!!

I've tried another videos of that site and:

My apologies. I had generalized the movie name as xyz and movie number that appears in url as 0000 to mask my search for fear of running into trouble. The movie is circus queen. I thought the results I was getting after the link would find some specific answer. Basically any movie I try to download [even ones I got there previously] just won't download anymore. The error message I posted was what I was hoping someone could analyse. In previous versions I used to get the movie after an initial minute of handshake errors and retrying/refreshing. Now it gets the link but does not get to streaming download.

The link is - I have attached image of the same window now.

The message I get is:

I can't understand suddenly why it won't work. I opened the movie in IE, Mozilla Firefox and even Google Chrome browsers to see if it could sniff the rtmpe streams. Just fails to latch onto the movie after sniffing it.

Bahman · #5 12-01-2011, 02:06 PM

Use this URL and this version of rtmpdump instead!!

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://fms.1B42.edgecastcdn.net/001B42/vault/videoclips/movies/" -a "001B42/vault/videoclips/movies/" -f "WIN 11,1,102,55" -W "http://www.bigflix.com/apache_file/flash/Player.swf?f=1322768888359" -p "http://www.bigflix.com/home/movies/circus-queen/1540" -y "mp4:CircusQueen.mp4?e=1322783246" -o mp4_CircusQueen.flv

Anyway, I could download that url you got:

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp118461.edgefcs.net/ondemand/bfvideo/vault/videoclips/movies/" -a "ondemand/bfvideo/vault/videoclips/movies/" -f "WIN 11,1,102,55" -W "http://www.bigflix.com/apache_file/flash/Player.swf" -p "http://www.bigflix.com/home/movies/circus-queen/1540" -y "mp4:CircusQueen.mp4?e=1322781254" -o mp4_CircusQueen.flv

Code:

C:\rtmpdump-2.4>rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp118461.edgefcs.net/ondemand/bfvideo/vault
/videoclips/movies/" -a "ondemand/bfvideo/vault/videoclips/movies/" -f "WIN 11,1

I wonder why we get diff url on each version of windows!! You got this on Win7:

Code:

rtmpe://cp118461.edgefcs.net/ondemand/bfvideo/

and me on Win XP Sp3:

Code:

rtmpe://fms.1B42.edgecastcdn.net/001B42/

That's interesting!!

roaming_romeo · #6 12-01-2011, 02:18 PM

How do I use the url you got? Where do I edit/paste it to use? BTW I am using the same rtmpdump you linked.

Bahman · #7 12-01-2011, 02:23 PM

in the same rtmpdump folder, create a new "Text Document", Open it, paste that link in it, save it. Then rename "New Text Document.txt" file to "command.bat"!! click on it to run "rtmpdump"!!

or download this and paste it in the rtmpdump folder and run ...!!

roaming_romeo · #8 12-01-2011, 03:37 PM

Hahaha. Initially I had downloaded the linked rtmpdump files that you gave and still I was getting same damned error that fizzled out after the url came up.

This text document of url that you gave now - should it be a notepad? It's crazy but I created a notepad with that url and named it command.bat and ran your command file that you linked and just like that it is downloading the video without even opening the damned rtmpexplorer. How did this happen? So tell me how can I obtain this url everytime my explorer fails? Should I copypaste from rumpsrv window when the link appears and use it in command.bat notepad? This is crazy but the file is now downloading in a crazy way I never imagined.

Even more curious case is why it is failing in rtmpexplorer and downloading through the command.bat file you linked on it's own through the notepad url??? Until now I used to get files off handshake message that went client sent 6, server answered 9. Now it doesn't work here and running it off your command file is giving as server answered 8 and it's working? Wonder why? Thanks for your help and patience.

That's easiest way to create a batch file (Creating txt and rename into bat)!!

I misunderstood this section!! You have created "command.bat" and also downloaded "command.bat" that I'd uploaded/linked?

wasn't need to doing both work!!
I'd said "create it" or "use created one by me"!!

just you used "rtmpdump" directly!! "rtmpexplorer" is GUI version of "rtmpdump". "rtmpexplorer" will use "rtmpdump" for downloading the link!! So, it doesn't need to open "rtmpexplorer"!!

As we saw, you've got different link with rtmpexplorer!!
Also "RTMP Server(rtmpsrv)" will run "rtmpdump" for downloading the link!! You'll run rtmpdump directly if you do that work!!

rtmpexplorer didn't fail!! It could find the correct link!! only Your PC can't connect to this server:

Code:

rtmpe://cp118461.edgefcs.net

and can connect to this one(As I mentioned before):

I don't know what these numbers meaning!! I think it's depend on servers!!

roaming_romeo · #10 12-01-2011, 11:49 PM

I think I will save that alternate server link address for future reference. The only issue is I try renaming the text files into command.bat file but it still remains into a text format file. Is that ok?
