Hey awesome people.
My main system is a Mac with OS X Yosemite. I've been struggling for months (literally) to get any Terminal (bash/zsh/other) application mix working, that doesn't require many steps (I'm happy with terminal scripts, anything programmatic, but don't want to use an "app" for this ideally). Or if I do, something that preferably actually works on the Mac.
My experience is as follows:
* I can record f4f using screen capturing, obviously, Screenflick works really well
* The "equivalent" of GetFLV for Mac, called Mac Video Downloader does not store cookies, crashes every time I try to close it. VOD recording barely ever works, live streams do work but stopping them and keeping them is difficult and requires many steps
* I've tried rtmpdump (through rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck) with the Mac firewall settings using:
echo '
rdr pass log on lo0 proto tcp from en0 to any port 1935 -> 127.0.0.1
pass out on en0 route-to lo0 inet proto tcp from en0 to any port 1935 keep state
' | sudo pfctl -ef -
Then running either rtmpsuck or rtmpsrv - neither of which works, even after I remove the above rule with:
sudo pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf
I'm at a complete dead-end.
I have a username, password and credits on f4f. Just looking to record free (and perhaps private) streams that I watch (although the private ones aren't much of a concern for me) as well as the VOD that I have access to.
As a sidenote, Chaturbate works and I use CaptureBate (a python app) for that. I'm looking, ideally, at something that records any live f4f stream and any VOD stream that I start playing on my Chrome/Safari browser.
Is there any way at all? Has anyone, ever, managed to make it for, with a specific set of instructions, app/script mix?
I'd really really appreciate any input here or in a message.
