www.atom.com: Problem downloading RTMPE stream with rtmpdump

Tupring · #1 10-19-2010, 08:18 AM

Hi guys, I'm a little lost. I can only get this video to download half way and resume doesn't seem to work. I'm probably just missing a command somewhere. Can anyone help please? I'm using Mac OS X Terminal but will use Windows if I have to.

rtmpe://cp35395.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.atomcomstor/atom.com/legacy/flv/si/sidecar_nerd_rage_rap_768x432_1800.mp4

You need to post the URL of the page instead.

Also try to use rtmpsrv or/and rtmpsuck.

You don't need Windows for rtmpdump / rtmpsuck. If you can't make it work in Mac OS X, you can use Linux like free Ubuntu instead. Use dual boot or just install it onto a virtual machine like free VirtualBox.

I'm not sure if I am using rtmpdump correctly, most likely I'm not (I couldn't figure it out in Windows or Wine either). Any other help or instructions is greatly appreciated. I'd really like to be able to save this thing…

Try rtmpsrv / rtmpsuck or other RTMPE recorders

I have downloaded and tried every piece of software I could find listed on various threads throughout the forum. There's just something I'm not understanding. Could you be so kind as to post an example of something from atom.com please?

Code:

Download may be incomplete (downloaded about 49.10%), try resuming

When I use the resume command, it just gets an error and starts over, only to fail half way again. I would assume this has something to do with the SWF verification, I can't figure out how to actually get that part to work…

StreamTransport works fine with this RTMPE stream.

As for rtmpdump, use rtmpsuck or rtmpsrv.

Tupring · #7 10-20-2010, 01:03 AM

OK I'll try StreamTransport again. Maybe my version was outdated because it didn't work for me.

EDIT: Still doesn't work. StreamTransport will not load this video, it just hangs on "Initializing."
And like I stated earlier, I can not figure out the correct commands to type to do this the other way...

EDIT 2: After several minutes it does manage to find a link (for some reason only a lower-rez one) but it never downloads. I have been watching it for over an hour, file size is still zero...

Have you actually managed to download this video with StreamTransport, or did you just say it works because their homepage says it supports RTMPE?

Code:

-r rtmpe://cp35395.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.atomcomstor/atom.com/legacy/flv/si/sidecar_nerd_rage_rap_768x432_1800.mp4
-W "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
-o nerd_rage.mp4

Am I close? (This still gives the "Ignoring SWFVerification request, use --swfVfy!" error…
This is rather frustrating.

Success!

Code:
