RTMPDump Batch Download Script

[mdg84]

Hey Everyone,

My situation is I'm trying to grab a large number of video files from a server (250+) and don't want to have to do it manually. I have all of the commands including the unique video URL's stored in a text file ready to be paste into the Command Prompt to download the video. Would it be possible to create a script that will download 1-3 streams at the same time, wait for those to finish and continue down the list until complete? I know a little about batch scripts, but not enough to create and figure this out.

Thanks.

Thanks.. that was quick! I'm going to go try it out..

EDIT: unfortunately, it doesn't work. The command window appears for a fraction of a second and closes.

Can we see a few command lines?

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://website.com:1935/vod_paid" -a "vod_paid" -f "WIN 22,0,0,209" -W "http://website.com/flash/title_player.swf" -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -p "http://website.com" -y "mp4:path/to/video1" -o "D:\video1"

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://website.com:1935/vod_paid" -a "vod_paid" -f "WIN 22,0,0,209" -W "http://website.com/flash/title_player.swf" -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -p "http://website.com" -y "mp4:path/to/video2" -o "D:\video2"

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://website.com:1935/vod_paid" -a "vod_paid" -f "WIN 22,0,0,209" -W "http://website.com/flash/title_player.swf" -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -p "http://website.com" -y "mp4:path/to/video2" -o "D:\video2"

Example of the command lines, obscured of course. Works perfect when I manually pasted into the command prompt.

Does it work when you remove:

-f "WIN 22,0,0,209"

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://website.com:1935/vod_paid" -a "vod_paid" -W "http://website.com/flash/title_player.swf" -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -p "http://website.com" -y "mp4:path/to/video1" -o "video1"

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://website.com:1935/vod_paid" -a "vod_paid" -W "http://website.com/flash/title_player.swf" -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -p "http://website.com" -y "mp4:path/to/video2" -o "video2"

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://website.com:1935/vod_paid" -a "vod_paid" -W "http://website.com/flash/title_player.swf" -u "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -p "http://website.com" -y "mp4:path/to/video3" -o "video3"
