Hello,

thanks for this nice tutorial!

I installed rtmpdump to capture nasatv hd.

_http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv

which is in fact a ustream rtmp stream.

With google I found this url:

Code:

rtmp://flash86.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamVideo/6540154 playpath=streams/live app=ustreamVideo/6540154 swfUrl="http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.rsl.558.swf" pageUrl="http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html" live=true

unfortunately I wasn't able to confirm it.

But I do not get to dump it with rtmpdump. The swfUrl I tried to add with -W "http://cdn1...", but it still doesn't work.

Could you help me?

Bye

/edit: I solved it. Here is how it goes:

Code:

rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://flash86.ustream.tv:1935/ustreamVideo/6540154 -y "streams/live" -W "http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.rsl.558.swf" -p "http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html" -a "ustreamVideo/6540154" -o NASAHDTV-recording.flv
