Trying to download from CBC

[someguy9]

Hello all,

I am trying to download the video from the following URL:

http://www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/ID/2175032196/

I am using the following command:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp37429.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand/" -a "ondemand/?auth=daFaIbvccdpbPalbMdNcId6dOb7c3bpaJbu-bq55es-b4-plm_EtsZvjDpFDE&aifp=v0001&slist=netstorage" -f "WIN 11,1,102,55" -W "http://livepassdl.conviva.com/ver/2.61.0.65970/LivePassModuleMain.swf" -p "http://www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/ID/2175032196/" -y "mp4:netstorage/The_Nature_of_Things_2011_E8_09_28_00_2011-12-08" -o "The_Nature_of_Things_2011_E8_09_28_00_2011-12-08.flv"

I am getting the following result:

This is running RTMPDump v2.4 on Windows XP in a virtual machine.

Can anybody help me figure out what's going wrong? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, rtmpdumphelper doesn't seem to be working either. 90% of the time it doesn't download at all, and the rest of the time it downloads 50% of the video and then quits.

This is why I thought I would try rtmpdump directly...

If anybody comes across this post via Google, I managed to download the video using RTMPExploreX. I have no idea why I couldn't download it using rtmpdump or rtmpdumphelper.
