RTMPexplorer
A clarification of the o/p's above explanation -
RTMPexplorer routes all rtmp traffic to rtmpsrv.
Advantages:
- No need to search for the host/server address
- No need to edit the HOST file
Installation:
- Copy rtmpsrv.exe to the same folder as rtmpexplorer.exe
- Copy rtmpdump.exe to the same folder as rtmpexplorer.exe
Usage:
- Start rtmpExplorer.
- Type the URL address of the video site into rtmpExplorer, instead of typing it into your normal browser.
- Click the 'Go' button in rtmpExplorer.
- The download may appear to keep restarting, but actually this seems to be an automatic RESUME function. This adds to the partially downloaded file, it does not overwrite it.
Requirements:
Microsoft's .net Framework 4 (requires WinXP SP3, Vista SP2, or Windows 7, with a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM).
It works for RTMP streams, in tests I ran on a friend's Windows 7 laptop today.
