Recording TV Lifestream

[GosuSan]

Hey everyone,

I am new to this recording Stuff, but I spent quite some time working and learning Linux Stuff (wich is now my main OS).

I recently found a site where I can watch eurosport (or eurosport 2) online:

http://cricfree.sx/euro-sports-2-live-stream

So, there is an iframe where the actual stream is embedded, wich is always nice (less code -> less errors):

http://cricfree.sx/update/euro2.php

First approach was with wireshark but that didn't work out at all (can go into detail, but that might get pretty much text and boring).

So I read the rtmpdump-docs and some posts here in the forum and tried this next:

# Stream is not started, no other tabs open in chrome #

$ sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j REDIRECT
$ rtmpsrv

# Start the stream #

Okay, connected, but can't capture the stream. But I got my rtmpdump-command, wich is if I understand that correct, the main purpose of rtmpsrv.
So I removed the iptables rule:

$ sudo iptables -t nat -D OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j REDIRECT

# stopped the stream in the browser - closed browser #

tried the command that rtmpsrv gave me (plus the -V switch because it didn't work last time):

Well, that errors does not tell me anything ...

So, I tried rtmpsrv, rtmpdump, time for rtmpsuck i guess ...

Created a user called "proxy" as suggested in the rtmpdump docs, and changed the iptable rule to

$ iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -m owner \! --uid-owner proxy -j REDIRECT
$ su proxy
$ rtmpsuck

# start the stream in my browser #

Now I am out of ideas and here to ask for help
If you need any more information, let me know.

And Thanks in advance!
