Both rtmpsrv and rtmpdump don't work for me with this stream in Ubuntu. I tried to add the --live parameter the command from rtmpsrv to no avail.

I got the following from rtmpsrv.exe, and it seemed to record fine for me. I'm on Windows XP.

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://69-31-5-30.dv.livestream.com/mogulus-stream-edge/sbcgr" -a "mogulus-stream-edge/sbcgr" -f "WIN 10,1,102,64" -W "http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v20/playerapi.swf?channel=sbcgr&autoPlay=true&jsEnable d=false&id=player&showMoreVideos=false&allowChat=f alse&hideInfo=true" -p "http://www.livestream.com/sbcgr" -y "rtmp://69-31-5-68.dv.livestream.com/mogulus/sbcgr/8959cc6c-31fa-490b-9954-d411ce5dc759" -o 8959cc6c-31fa-490b-9954-d411ce5dc759.flv

With the following added to the hosts file.

I am in need to understand how to:

1. Collect the URL and paramaters needed for RTMPDUMP to work when wanting to grab a live feed from www.livestream.com

(look in the page, for this variable, add it too "/xxxx/", or a jSON request is made to this URL to get the URL, etc..

2. The RTMPDUMP command working to grab that same video.

If you can do this one, I have other sites as well, and will pay $150 for each site needed.

Hi, I'm new here, so sorry if I mess up a bit.
I have one video that is embedded in some topic on conceptart.org forums, from their channel, that has been made private:

Code:

http://www.livestream.com/conceptart

So, this video is only aviliable from mentioned topic on the forum, through livestream player. Video is about 7 hours long, with quite high resolution.
And so all the programs have failed, or tried to download the player itself, not the video. Only replay media catcher seems to be able to download the video, but after getting about 2 minutes of the vid, it stops and says that vid is complete. But I found this:

Code:

rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemand<break>trans/dv04/mogulus-user-files/chconceptart/2009/07/26/579aded0-a39c-4e54-a28c-c549fedd1f23

Other program gave me this:

Code:

http://flash.quantserve.com/pixel.swf?flashPlayer=WIN%2010%2C3%2C181%2C34&qcv=5%2E0%2E0&duration=124%2E45&event=played&labels=Art%20%26%20Creativity%2Econceptart%2Eon%2Ddemand&r=4405&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn%2Elivestream%2Ecom%2FchromelessPlayer%2Fv21%2Fplayerapi%2Eswf%3FautoPlay%3Dfalse%26mute%3Dfalse%26jsEnabled%3Dfalse&title=jasonmanley%27s%20Camera%20%5BProcaster%5D%20%5BRecorded%20Sun%20Jul%2026%2014%3A17%3A40%20EDT%202009%5D&videoId=5faf5776%2D40cd%2D4748%2Dac6e%2D7c9ba2e74ed0&media=video&playOnly=true&allowTrace=false&pageURL=http%3A%2F%2Fconceptart%2Eorg%2Fforums%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Fp%3D2356009%23post2356009&fpf=FO%2D1290876296%2D1311024677118&publisherId=p%2Dcaea5A8f9YSRU&OBT_fname=pixel.swf

I tried this and few other options (with added .flv and such):

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemand<break>trans/dv04/mogulus-user-files/chconceptart/2009/07/26/579aded0-a39c-4e54-a28c-c549fedd1f23" -o test.flv --resume

but I always get this result:

Code:

Can anybody help?

I was able to download your 2 min video with rtmpdump after constructing the url with the info you provided. it wasn't broken video. it seems your video is split into multiple files. so you need different video ids to download them all. try to seek the playing video further to get other video urls.

sam4037 · #17 09-21-2011, 12:40 AM

(Mods and Admins, can you please not move or change this post because I specifically want to download it with rtmpdump and I also do specifically, if possible, do not like to receive replies with lists and links of download tools that can download this file, I specifically ask a rtmpdump question here in the rtmpdump thread and like it to be treated as such, thank you for your understanding and hopefully compliance. I have also tried several of the here advertised pay- as well as freeware and they all fail on this file after about 31,7% of downloading so please please please let's keep this rtmpdump and nothing else, thanks.)

Dear fellow stream recording gurus,

I am having difficulties cracking this tough nut with RTMPdump.

The video URL is:

Code:

http://www.livestream.com/janaschi/video?clipId=pla_5322166999805320653

The request header is:

Code:

url: rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemand/trans/dv02/mogulus-user-files/chjanaschi/2009/06/27/0040e214-9b56-45d9-9453-9ec12126369e

app: ondemand

flashVer: WIN 10,3,183,7

pageUrl: http://www.livestream.com/embed/janaschi?showMoreVideos=false&hideInfo=true&autoPlay=true&lschannel=true&browseMode=false&textLines=2&hideChannelBranding=true&mode=false&clip=pla_5322166999805320653&allowchat=true&layout=1&t=753084

swfUrl: http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf?lschannel=true&allowChat=true&borderColor=0xCCCCCC&browseMode=false&showMoreVideos=false&textLines=2&t=753084&time=&hideChannelBranding=true&mode=false&hideInfo=true&iconColor=0x555555&jsEnabled=false&autoPlay=true&allowchat=true&showBorderControlBar=false

tcUrl: rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemand

playPath: trans/dv02/mogulus-user-files/chjanaschi/2009/06/27/0040e214-9b56-45d9-9453-9ec12126369e

I have used this command line with rtmpdump 2.4:

Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com:80/ondemand/" -y "trans/dv02/mogulus-user-files/chjanaschi/2009/06/27/0040e214-9b56-45d9-9453-9ec12126369e" -W "http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf" -o 0040e214-9b56-45d9-9453-9ec12126369e.flv

I keep getting the "try resuming" error message. Still when I try to resume the download it either tells me it can't resume or to resume again. When I try the -V or -z commands in the above command line as well it tells me that some video frames are too small besides other errors.

Perhaps some of you have an idea about this specific video? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I've been trying to download a video, but seems like this certain video is very difficult to handle. What is the right way to download the video? I have no idea what that error means.
