Catch and forward streams TUTORIAL => $50 reward

[beerfoot]

Hi,

I've spent days trying to find a simple tutorial on how to catch rtmp streams, with fresh and updated contents/tools. I couldn't find a recent step by step tutorial for newbies with a great summary. I'm trying another method right here, stream-recorder and its great community are my last hope to get a relevant tutorial

I offer a $50 Amazon gift card for anyone providing a small tutorial with the following:

1. how to identify the rtmp stream address/port/parameters from mips.tv, ucaster.eu? ex: regarder(.)me/splus/streamer.php?id=sebastien2
a. which tools do you use? Wireshark, other
b. the good rtmpdump command to catch the stream
c. how to redirect the rtmp stream to my own rtmp server (forward)

2. how to catch a stream from a TV channel?
a. the best tools for catching the raw stream on Linux
b. how to forward the caught stream to my own rtmp server

3. what kind of server / hosting would you advise to broadcast the rtmp streams to ~100K visitors during 2-3 hours ?

I have good skills in Linux admin but I'm a newbie to stream recording

Why do I offer a gift card? Because I've been reading hundreds of pages and I still can't find a relevant "for dummies" tutorial. People spending their time helping writing such contents deserve to be rewarded.

Feel free to send a message before you start, I will tell you if anyone else has already started writing the tutorial. Of course, the tutorial can be written down here as a post answer available for everybody if admins wish to

Thanks,
Tom
