I am just reading these two excellent threads
1. 2. about rtmpsrv and how to use it and have a simple question.
In order to get rtmpsrv running smoothly, i.e. spitting out the right command line at the end, one does need to know the HOST address of the rtmp file.
So let's say I don't want to use any of these tools
listed here is there a way to finding the HOST address of the rtmp file without them?
I am wondering about this as ideally I would only like to use rtmpdump (with rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck) to find the HOST address and then record it. Is that possible without any of those URL finders or does one really need to use them? I have checked the documentation
here but unfortunately did not find info about rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck. Is there an official documentation/manual for those two? Where is it?
Why am I wondering about not using any of the above listed tools? Well once I install Coojah to find the HOST address I might as well use the integrated Blader to download it in a easy way as well as getting a lot more information (like the whole request header and so on) ((and now I think I understand how nullacht put the playpath in the command line, I think I am getting there..).
On the other hand once I downloaded the file with rtmpdump it gave it to me in .flv file format and that I could play with foobar as well as mpc build 1.3.1774.0 (my favourite media players) whereas the .m4a file I was getting with Coojah needed SMplayer to play it properly as the other two media players would not accept it, I guess due to the missing FAAD AAC codec(???), even though mpc would so far play every audio and video file I came across. So there you go there are advantages and disadvantages.
Long story short: is there a way of getting the HOST address without URL finder tools? If so how?
Then considering this particular file and getting the HOST address let's look at the request header:
Code:
url:
rtmp://stream.samurai.fm:1935/vods3/mp4:amazons3/origin.samurai.fm/media/b1d1e442/set_tresor_2011-02-17.m4a
app: vods3/
flashVer: WIN 10,2,152,26
pageUrl: http://www.tanith.org/?p=2235
swfUrl: http://samurai.fm/flash/player.swf
tcUrl: rtmp://stream.samurai.fm:1935/vods3/
playPath: mp4:amazons3/origin.samurai.fm/media/b1d1e442/set_tresor_2011-02-17.m4a
Is the HOST address
or
???
Again thanks for any help and info to my many questions, I am super excited about all this and will dig and dig until my thirst for knowledge about this is satisfied. Thanks so much!!
