RTMPDUMP seems to be having problems with BBC iPlayer

[meedermow]

Hi there,

Whilst very much a n00b, I was always able to use a combination of RTMP Explorer with RTMP Dump to capture BBC iPlayer content.

I have been capturing The Leveson Enquiry - here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/...00/9640246.stm

And have always been able to capture the days proceedings, but now I seem to be having problems - error:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp45413.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand" -a "ondemand" -f "WIN 11,
0,1,152" -W "http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/releases/worldwide/revisions/617329_617319
/617329_617319_emp.swf" -p "http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/bbc_parliamen
t/newsid_9640000/9640246.stm" -C O:1 -C O:0 -y "public/flash/dl_politics/812000/
812082_16x9_NewsWebFlash512" -o 812082_16x9_NewsWebFlash512.flv

Closing connection... done!

Can anyone point to where I'm going wrong?!

Thanks,

There is not any problem:

C:\temp\rtmpdump>rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp45413.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand" -a "onde
mand" -f "WIN 11,0,1,152" -W "http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/releases/worldwide/revisi

try this, maybe will work:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp45413.edgefcs.net:80/ondemand/public/flash/dl_politics/812000/812082_16x9_NewsWebFlash512" -o 812082_16x9_NewsWebFlash512.flv

Thanks for the response. How strange. I still can't get it to work - is it anything to do with the versions we're using?

I have used your rtmpdump version, and it's working fine as well!!

Did you try this:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp45413.edgefcs.net:80/ondemand/public/flash/dl_politics/812000/812082_16x9_NewsWebFlash512" -o 812082_16x9_NewsWebFlash512.flv

if the problem still exist, use StreamTransport!!

That code worked perfectly - thanks so much. I tried StreamTransport last night twice and (perhaps because it's a large file: 650mb) it dropped out at about 70% each time

But I've got it now - so that's great - many thanks

That's my pleasure!!
