Trying to rip video from Logo TV website, need help!

[atomicblue]

Hey there!

Using Firefox, trying to find a program or means to rip videos from logotv.com (mainly RuPaul's Drag Race and the extra scenes that are only available from their site). I've tried Orbit, DownloadHelper, GetFLV and a lot of other similar programs but nothing seems to detect the video; most of these programs will detect and download the ad that plays immediately before the episode, but nothing else.

Help? Pretty please? I'll answer any questions I can to narrow down the possible solutions.

RTMP Explorer appears to work. On the one video I tried it downloaded in four pieces though.

No worries, so long as they're downloadable I don't mind. LogoTV seems to split the videos up into chunks so that they can insert adbreaks like there would be on TV.

Anyway, I'll give the software a try. Thanks for your help!

Okay, so I tried and it worked! One last question, though: how do I get the HD stream? RTMP Explorer only seems to be detecting the lowest quality stream available.

[theewizard]

strictly speaking.. you are down loading not ripping,

ripping is too copy from disc

[jagabo]

how do I get the HD stream?

I didn't see any way of switching at the site. Does it automatically select different resolutions?

<edit>
Ah, I see. For some reason Firefox wasn't showing the bottom of the frame with the video. So I couldn't see the controls, including the resolution changer. I don't know how you're going to specify a different res. You may have to resort to using a URL snooper and the command line version of rmtpdump.

or you can use TubeDigger 3.1.2

Sorry to leave this thread for so long - work got kind of busy!

Okay, so I've got rtmpdump, but I have absolutely no idea how to use something like that (it's a bit more advanced than I'm used to). Can anyone either tell me how I'd go about using it, or direct me to somewhere that has easy-to-understand instructions? Thanks.

use riptiger thats what I used
I download all the DTLA episodes in HD make sure your internet connection is fast to get the HD ones

Not so easy:

That looks like it should be easy enough for me to understand. Thanks!

hi you can use rtmpdumphelper + rtmpdump to find first part

then you need change the code


example episode 1 season 3

rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp15588.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.alias/mediabus/logoonline.com/2013/10/08/01/06/62110" -a "ondemand/mtvnorigin/gsp.alias/mediabus/logoonline.com/2013/10/08/01/06/62110" -f "LNX 17,0,0,134" -W "http://livepassdl.conviva.com/hf/ver/2.90.0.24127/LivePassModuleMain.swf" -p "http://www.logotv.com/video/episode-1-season-3-the-big-gay-sketch-show/1715267/playlist.jhtml" -y "mp4:3114270_62110_20131008130622784_640x480_1600_m30.mp4" -o "part1.flv"

I'm sorry I don't think im doing it wrong but it still isn't working. the RTMPDumphelper is just saying "failed to attach to web browser" could you just please walk me through it. what did you mean about changing the code names?? I wish I could get someone to rip the videos off the website for me there are only 8 episodes anyways...I got a feeling I wont be able to do it myself. ugh why do these websites make it so hard for us to steal their content lmfgao

did you use firefox?

1) download http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/rtmpdumphelper.zip 32bit firefox browser
or http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/rtmpdumphelper-x64.zip 64bit firefox browser

2) unzip file in C:\rtmpdumphelper (for example)
3) download https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/releases/download/v2.4/rtmpdump-2.4.zip
4) unzip file in the same folder in C:\rtmpdumphelper

5) run rtmpdumphelper
6) run your video
7) rtmpdumphelper download directly the video part1
8) you can find the code in Command.txt in C:\rtmpdumphelper copy the code
9) run cmd.exe command shell
10 go to C:\rtmpdumphelper

cd C:\rtmpdumphelper

11) paste the code and apply the changes for the other parts

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! It worked. I have all 8 episodes now. Sorry to be a pain in the ass but these episodes weren't available anywhere.
