First,download latest version of rtmpdump from the mplayer web-site

This command works

Code:

rtmpdump 
-r rtmpe://e1a.vdo.vip.hk3.tvb.com/tv//mp4:/4/276/000000027560.mp4 
-o video.mp4

Notice the bolded part,change from vi to tv and e1b to e1a makes the difference

Try the latest version of rtmpdump that can be downloaded from the mplayer web-site.

Also I recommend you to read the following:
How do you use rtmp dump (rtmpdump tutorials)?

I just got lucky,e1b and vi doesn't work,so I tried other possible strings
tvb.com used "tv" as the app of the url

All videos from tvb.com work the same,change it to tv and e1a should work for all videos there

i wonder how the flash player know to change the url

if I done the change (add tv , b -> a) by this moment
url may got change at the server side, and it is extremely hard to trial and error

That's what I'm wondering too
The url inside the xml file is not correct I suppose
They probably wrote a script to recognize the real url inside the swf file
