You Sir are a genius! Thanks so much!
What did I do wrong?
I used this command line beforehand and it did not work giving me the above mentioned error.
Code:
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://stream.samurai.fm:1935/vods3/mp4:amazons3/origin.samurai.fm/media/b1d1e442/set_tresor_2011-02-17.m4a" −v -o set_tresor_2011-02-17.m4a
You seem to have added the "y" and also swap around some things in the URL. I think you described the absolute path better then me or actually did give a path whereas I did not. How do I know where the path starts, i.e. where to chop of the URL and put the part with the "-y" and what part of the URL the destination where the file is hosted? Perhaps I am confusing things a little bit, I hope you understand what I mean?
Can you explain your steps please? I am so willing to understand this. I have in the meanwhile read some of the rtmpdump documentation but without example it is a bit hard. This will make it more easy for me to understand.
I think I have also read some of your posts on the gully forum. You seem to be quite the rtmpdump guru, right, hehe?
Well thanks so much for your help. I hope we can write more and like that I can understand this better for future rips from other audio streams.

Yes of course I can use those tools to automatically do the work for me but I love to use the command line of rtmpdump. I run it on XP and am thinking about Ubuntu for a long time now since I just started my IT degree and I see that there is a lot, I mean really a lot of advantages over the MS OS, at least in certain aspects. However to be able to use rtmpdump, rtmpsuck and rtmpserv one does not need to install Ubuntu, those things also run on XP as far as I know, no?
I managed to get the URL with
CooJah and then downloaded the file with the integrated Blader. Since the first time I ran CooJah I love it, so detailed and so many options. But ideally
rtmpdump is my favorite.
Is
Wireshark also a similar tool for things like that or is that even deeper analysis, i.e. can it be use to obtain the rtmp URLs of audio and video streams as well?
What I am looking for ideally is a tool that can give me the rtmp URL of any audio or video stream using that protocol and then simply pop it into rtmpdump, since I love using that so much, not such a big fan of the automatic tools that do all the work for me, more like to find the right command line and then look at rtmpdump do the work while I sit back. And learning to find the right command line for rtmpdump is what I enjoy most considering ripping audio and video streams. Always exciting to see rtmpdump's response, hehe.
Ok hope this is not too detailed, thank you both for your quick and detailed help, I hope to learn what I did wrong from this example. All the best and so long.
