youtholympics.com - problem downloading secure RTMP video streams

virikolass · #1 08-16-2010, 09:32 AM

As I noticed the website

Code:

http://www.youtholympicgames.org/

uses the same difficult-to-break method of authorization as eurovisionsports.tv. Of course I'm able to capture everything using rtmpsuck in Ubuntu 10.04 after redirecting port 1935 (it's described here). My computer is too slow to effectively work with Virtual Machine so I had to install it separately. It's uncomfortable to switch over to another OS every time I want to record something. So is there any free way to capture this type of rtmp stream under Windows? I have tried Jaksta and Replay Media Catcher and they are working very well but can record only one minute because I have no money to buy them.

You need software that can capture RTMP packets to record videos from youtholympicgames.org .

Besides Replay Media Catcher and Jaksta you can try to capture RTMP packets with freeware Orbit Grab Pro and CooJah.

You can also record live RTMP streams with screen video capture software

Blader recognizes the stream but doesn't capture and reports:

Code:

Current Status:Error Unknown!
Last Error:Success

When I click 'download' in StreamTransport, it only shows a task but no recording.

I tried also rtmpsrv which reports:

Code:

Streaming on rtmp://0.0.0.0:1935
WARNING: Trying different position for client digest!

Orbit Grab Pro even doesn't recognize any stream.

It looks like only Jaksta, Replay Media Catcher and rtmpsuck can capture this type of stream provided that the browser is still open. I think this software uses another method of capturing.

Jaksta, Replay Media Catcher and rtmpsuck allow you to capture RTMP packets from your flash player. Although Jaksta and Replay Media Catcher can download RTMP streams as well.

Also Freeware Orbit Grab Pro and CooJah can capture RTMP packets. Orbit Grab Pro fails, so you can try to use Coojah (without Blader).

I have noticed that I'm using an older relase of CooJah so I resolved to download the newest one (v. 6.8.193.0614). It works for me very well. Of course it's possible to capture a stream provided that I keep my browser open but if I understand well there's no other way to capture these RTMP streams.
Thanks for your help!
