CB Downloader Pro InitializerThread();


Alright, here's the plan. Sick of manually or batch scripting CB performers live streams? I'm going to totally automate everything, and make the app run on Windows + Mac OSX, and possibly android too! (if there's enough requests for it)

Following this thread: http://stream-recorder.com/forum/cha...t10869p37.html

I've been able to capture the streams with KSV's most recent mod of rtmpdump!

The idea is simple, You'll add all the performer's name's / urls to a list box. TLS/SSL capabilities but no web browser control (so no javascript engine) it logs into an account, then it checks each performer/model's page and searches for the string "Room is currently offline" within the html to determine whether the stream is active or not (You think that's a good method? Or should I use another way?) It will wait a user defined delay in minutes, before checking the page again to see if that performer is online again. The number of active simultaneous page checks will also be user customizable. As will the number of concurrent stream downloads (but this one can be set to unlimited if desired unlike the other{In which case you'll only be limited by hard disk space, and memory})
For example you could set it so it will request 10 performer pages simultaneously, while downloading an unlimited number of streams at once (obviously limited by your selection of performers), with a delay of 10 minutes between re-checks for if they're online. (I think too often might get you banned lol, so 1 minute is probably too often, but maybe not, it'll be up to the user to decide)

If they are online, it extracts the necessary info from the page: SWF Version, RTMP Stream URL, User's sha256 password hash, and the performer's room hash!

So then with each performer that is online with the necessary data grabbed, the command line for rtmpdump will be formed!
Something like:

Command.sprintf("rtmpdump -v -r \"rtmp://%s/live-edge\" -p \"https://chaturbate.com/%s\" -C S:%s -C S:%s -C S:%s -C S:%s -C S:%s -T \"%s\" -y \"playpath\" -o \"%s_%s.flv\"", rtmp_url, performer_name, loggedin_user, performer_name, swfversion, users_passwordhash, room_hash, security_key, performer_name, datetime);

Each rtmpdump instance created via generated command line will run in the background so no console windows will be visible.

You just leave it running on your pc or mac, minimize it to tray or dock, and enjoy fully automated CB streams directly to your hard disk with no user intervention at all! Also many things will be fully customizable, so if it ever breaks down, you could just change some settings and get it working again! (most likely) {For example if the way to extract the necessary data from the performer's page changes, you could fix it via the configuration of the app, or if the security key changes you could update it, it wont be hard coded! Any ideas how I could retrieve the security key automatically, to make that not even necessary?}


Finally I have some question's regarding the alternate RTMP URL which works with VLC if you feed it, or to JWPlayer as one dude linked to from the CB thread link at the top of this post. Also probably in a safari or other "Webkit" browser.
->


If you disable or don't have flash installed in a certain browser, it instead of being able to load the flash video streamer (their .swf) will attempt to load the stream a different way. I am a little confused on how this other rtmp streaming method works. It involves a single data point rather than all of the above data points. Just a single link with still port 1935, but it's to an .m3u8 file. If you paste this link into VLC under network stream, or convert/save, you can either just view the CB stream or capture and save it! Is your user account and password hashed together with all the other data to create that link?

This is what I'm mean->


By using one of my old applications that I dug up that I thought might help, I used it's packet dumper feature to hook vlc media player's winsock via injected dll and pipe the data back to the main application. Good thing I made it have a packet dumper / packet viewer feature otherwise it would've been totally useless (well except for downloading specific mime types sent over http protocol {it was made by me way before everyone came to ssl/tls and before pretty much every website stopped sending media over standard http protocol) The down side to the app is any line that hit's an unprintable character, the rest of it from there is truncated! However anything that's plain text is shown!



It seems it once it get's that first .m3u8, it keeps looping from a chunklist_wXXXXX.m3u8 to a media_wXXXX.ts

Is it really downloading the stream over just HTTP or what's going on here? Perhaps it's still going through RTMP but over HTTP?

Just trying to figure out if I can maybe use this as an alternative download method, instead of relying solely on rtmpdump there could be a selectable alternative method that also works! Thanks, and be sure to vote on whether or not I should also get it going on android after win+mac!
