How to use rtmpdump.exe as RTMPE downloading plugin for Replay Media Catcher 4

1. Download the latest version of rtmpdump for Windows.
2. Extract rtmpdump.exe into the Replay Media Catcher folder (by default it is C:\Program Files\Applian Technologies\Replay Media Catcher 4).
3. Open Replay Media Catcher 4 and go to the Settings. Configure as shown below:
   

   Protocol: RTMPE
   Url Match: somevideosite
   Executable: rtmpdump.exe
   Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}"

The biggest problem with this approach is that RMC 4 can't decrypt RTMPE streams, it can only get RTMPE URLs from playlists when they are available. Also to download streams using SWF verification you need to provide additional parameters for every web-site that uses this kind of protection.

You can create templates for every particular web-site as well. For example, for recording from MySpace you can use the following "plugin template":

Protocol: RTMPE
Url Match: myspacecdn.com
Executable: rtmpdump.exe
Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}"

It is done the same way you would do it for rtmpdump.

Just view the source of the page and find the URL of the SWF player. Then use:

Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}" -s "{SWFurl}"

where SWFurl is the URL of the SWF player.

Hi, I was re-directed here for help with capturing streams from www.tvnz.co.nz/ondemand . I understand you can't view the videos, something to do with country restrictions.

I have installed this plug in, and set it up like;

Protocol: RTMPE
Url Match: *
Executable: rtmpdump.exe
Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}"

But I was wondering, am I actually meant to put the websites URL in the {url} part? I'm a newbie to video stream captures..

Try the following:

Protocol: RTMPE
Url Match: fms-streaming.tvnz.co.nz
Executable: rtmpdump.exe
Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}"

Don't forget to place the latest version of rtmpdump.exe into the Replay Media Catcher folder.

It seems that you use

Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "C:\Users\User\Documents\My Streaming Media"

instead of

Parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{filename.flv}"

Try to use freeware StreamTransport or CooJah + Blader.

If you have Linux, try to use rtmpsuck.
