trying to download streaming video off twitcam.livestream.com

[K0edx4ever]

I tried downloading from Twitcam, but i am unable to do so.

Downloading the video clip from this site:

http://twitcam.livestream.com/5uetk

The clip goes for 55 mins but it download around 6mins? then it doesn't download anymore.
It goes

ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet header

This is my command line to download it

rtmpdump.exe -r rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemand/trans/dv15/mogulus-user-files/chtwitcam_lexistgeorge/2011/07/22/522aa83c-2183-4b16-90b4-f8e188267569 -W http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf -o Video.flv

May i please get some help, or maybe a different code to help me download.

Please and Thanks.

I didn't happen to find easilly some of those arguments, such as the playpath. Not clear on the code.

how about this one?

http://www.livestream.com/janaschi/video?clipId=pla_5322166999805320653

i have posted a thread about it there, perhaps you can have a look here?

it seems they must have changed something since all the various commands I have used so far did not give me the whole file.

thanks, but have you tried to let it finish or at least go past the 31.7% download mark as well? does it download 100% for you?

with your command line:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemand" -a "ondemand" -f "WIN 10,3,183,7" -W "http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf" -p "http://www.livestream.com/embed/janaschi?showMoreVideos=false&hideInfo=true&autoPlay=true&lschannel=true&browseMode=false&textLines=2&hideChannelBranding=true&mode=false&clip=pla_5322166999805320653&allowchat=true&layout=1&t=580671" -y "trans/dv02/mogulus-user-files/chjanaschi/2009/06/27/0040e214-9b56-45d9-9453-9ec12126369e" -o "0040e214-9b56-45d9-9453-9ec12126369e.flv

it also only reaches 31,7%

Chap, thanks a lot. It did connect, and I kind of comprehended the arguments extracted better. The only thing is that it usually downloads about 30% and stops. Trying to resume eventually fails. Is it normal? Large videos are hard to get because of this. Thanks again, you solved my problem!

Use rtmpsuck or any other software allowing to capture RTMP streams like Replay Media Catcher in the RTMP recording mode, TubeDigger in the recording mode.
