Thanks Stumk
Good to know you got RTMPDUMP to work but just confirms for me that somehow I am the problem.
After looking at my temporary internet files folder for IE I did find the XML URLs. If having the -C Z: worked for you then I have to rule it out as a potential problem.
Sometimes I get URLs in the format that your command has and that elch posted other times I get one in the format
Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://ak.securestream.channel4.com:1935/4oD/?ovpfv=1.1&auth=da_dDdtdPbUaCaybLcpdrcydcazdpaNb1dz-bl1que-eS-mAV-lSq1s5o6rxpIrrotmWp3pFtwmhoftVtWluq0sXoyrVp6rFoEmxp9p5tXm9pstzt6lmqXsIoCrfpWr3oW&aifp=v002&slist=assets/CH4_08_02_16_25880001001001_001.mp4" -a "4oD/?ovpfv=1.1&auth=da_dDdtdPbUaCaybLcpdrcydcazdpaNb1dz-bl1que-eS-mAV-lSq1s5o6rxpIrrotmWp3pFtwmhoftVtWluq0sXoyrVp6rFoEmxp9p5tXm9pstzt6lmqXsIoCrfpWr3oW&aifp=v002&slist=assets/CH4_08_02_16_25880001001001_001.mp4" -f "WIN 10,0,45,2" -W "http://www.channel4.com/static/programmes/asset/flash/swf/4odplayer-4.49.5.swf" -p "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-italian-kitchen/4od" -C Z: -y "mp4:assets/CH4_08_02_16_25880001001001_001.mp4" -o CH4_08_02_16_25880001001001_001.mp4
That one with never works or connects for me.
The ones in the form you posted at least connect but always fail here:

Any ideas on this aspect?
I am using a proxy to get past the geo-location check. I am starting to think this is causing a problem both with trying to use RTMPDUMP and StreamTransport
I don't think what I have is a Socks4 Proxy so it doesn't work with the -S parameter. Besides I connect and download using RTMPDUMP from other geo-restricted sites without using a proxy just fine.
If I were to guess in regards to generating parameters automatically from the xml file, I would say look at the channel4.pm plugin for get_flash_videos and a get_iplayer version with channel4 capabilities. Looking at them they both seem to be getting info from the XML file. They are out-dated but might give some info, it does not seem as though the &h is mentioned so I don't know if it is new or it was never needed in the old channel4.pm or get_iplayer implimentation.
When using get_flash_videos it never tried to use channel4.pm as it is out-dated. I changed it so now at least it says it is using it but as I have no programming knowledge I am unable to change the rest of it so that it works. Now it just dies and pegs perl.exe at 100% CPU usage and I have to kill the process. Anyway good luck with what your working on.
As for me I just have no idea, it seems everything works for everyone else but me. I can only figure there is some sort of issue using the proxy. I have the same format commands, etc. it just doesn't work. If you could shine any light onto a resolution for my problems that would be great.
Thanks
