Re: help using rtmpdump

Edit the hosts file to include fcs.fitvixenz.com as an exception. Once that is done, open rtmpsrv and then open the video.

You should see something on rtmpsrv that says something that looks like an rtmpdump command. Copy that and paste it as your rtmpdump command and the video should download.

This is the command you want -

rtmpsrv > RTMPdump_run.bat


This will save the output from rtmpsrv.exe into a batch file called RTMPdump_run.bat that you can then use to download the Flash file in question.

With rtmpsrv running in window A, edit your HOSTS file (as described in the information included in downloads of the RTMPSRV program) and then start the Flash file playing in window B.

You will see, in window A, messages from rtmpsrv. Look out for the magic word "Done" which indicates that it has successfully saved the necessary download command. Then close rtmpsrv (press keys CTRL + Break simultaneously).

You need to then edit the batch file which the above method created, before running it. This is because the above procedure typically saves several copies of the download command into the batch file, so you need to remove all but one of them (otherwise the download will be overwritten every time it successfully completes).

You need to then restore your HOSTS file to normal before running RTMPdump_run.bat otherwise you'll get an error message instead of a download.
