Re: Recording LOVEFiLM ( lovefilm.com = lovefilm.co.uk )


Thanks for updating and fixing.
Yes, i can confirm, GetFLV can capture various streams (incl. ads) and download them all.
,

Downloads are even resumable (within a certain time slot), similar to Amazon Instant Video downloads!
Resumability becomes an important aspect or factor when you lose the connection (change of IP address, crashing of internet/software/hardware, ..). This implies that in the end you dont need any UK IP address for the actual download. You can turn on your UK proxy server, then gather all captured url's at the bottom of GetFLV's main gui, then turn the proxy off (to establish a fast stable connection for the following step), and finally download the videos with GetFLV. Typical download speed for 1 video stream is ~110-130KB/s, so you should not download more than 6 videos at a time with a 6MBit/s DSL line.

hope this helps.

If someone has tested RTMPDUMP on Lovefilm, please report to complete our documentation of how to save Lovefilm "Watch Now" video streams.

Let's note that the Lovefilm video quality (~800kbps) is quite horrible as you can see from the screenshot. So whenever you're interested in saving a Lovefilm video stream you better check first with Amazon Instant Video, torrents or other sites before you ..etc..
