How to download flash video RTMP/RTMPE streams using free software

[CaNANDian]

I've tried RTMPExploreX but it didn't find the flv.

When I try to download with a browser add-on there are a ton of files that are .36 MB.

I didn't yet explore that particular site, but it's likely a segmented type of http stream, the server can even send chunks of different bitrate/resolution according to current connection speed. That method is by Adobe. The known solution is a script by KSV for 'php' CL application. Look into this thread, I found much help here:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/342430-F4F-capturing-converting?p=2230092&viewfull=1#post2230092

In my case I downloaded 257 chunks the usual way (by guessing partial file names for 720p version of the stream), then used the 'join' option of that script, got the wanted flv (like 800 MB). Another option with the script is direct download.

thank you! worked perfectly

Hey guys, i'm new to this forum , i'm trying to download videos from this link :http://www.livestream.com/janaschi/video?clipId=flv_b556009b-b646-4425-bb96-d86c90acc5...edium=ui-thumb . i tried url snooper and rtmpexplorer, but without succes ....

Any help would be really appreciated ! thanks !

but dunno how to download on ihttp ...

edit2: i tried using flvgrabber, and it's actually finding a rtmp protocole, which is super long : rtmp://extondemand.livestream.com/ondemandtrans/dv03/mogulus-user-files/chjanaschi/2009/06/14/b556009b-b646-4425-bb96-d86c90acc575 http://cdn.livestream.com/chromelessPlayer/v21/playerapi.swf?showBorderControlBar=fals...reVideos=false http://www.livestream.com/embed/janaschi?showMoreVideos=false&hideInfo=true&autoPlay=t...out=1&t=979365

I'm coming closer and closer, but still need your help ..

I downloaded a couple of streams from livestream site using NetTransport. In my latest download (2012) I noticed an option within full url (NT has internal sniffer): bitrate=... By default it was =1, but after simply changing it to =3 in d/l properties I managed to download the 720p version of that rtmp stream. The server seems to send video with playback speed and doesn't show file size.

To all "Live" streaming gurus, if earlier versions of Replay Media Catcher 3.1, TubeDigger 3.1 or StreamTransport 1.02 can capture/download the streams (rtmp/xrtmp/yrtmp/zrtmp) that means there must be some sort of codes right? e.g. rtmpdump -r "yrtmp://xxx.xx.xx.xx/newcam-test/_definst_/streams/55d34a99-fcf5-44c5-9ff0-7fd4bcf5d2b3?a." -o "C:\test video.flv"

For most of the "Live" cam streams, I can use URLSnooper to get the rtmp codes and use CMD to download and if I can not figure out the rtmp codes, I would try StreamTransport as this software will show the "yrtmp://xxx.xx.xx.xx/newcam-test/_definst_/streams/55d34a99-fcf5-44c5-9ff0-7fd4bcf5d2b3?a." codes and I would just copy or play with the codes and again use CMD to download.......however now I've a problem, neither Replay Media Catcher 3.1 or StreamTransport 1.02 would catch the "Live" stream, the only program that would catch the stream is TubeDigger 3.1, but TubeDigger 3.1 is NOT displaying the actual "yrtmp://xxx.xx.xx.xx/newcam-test/_definst_/streams/55d34a99-fcf5-44c5-9ff0-7fd4bcf5d2b3?a." codes......the main reason I would like to download the "Live" stream manually using CMD and "yrtmp://xxx.xx.xx.xx/newcam-test/_definst_/streams/55d34a99-fcf5-44c5-9ff0-7fd4bcf5d2b3?a." is because downloading this way is always perfect "Live" streams, using Replay Media Catcher 3.1, TubeDigger 3.1 or StreamTransport 1.02 is always a hit and miss with "Live" streams, either the sound is off or the video is playing too fast etc.

Thanks.

Hi. I posted about a month ago about getting an rmtpdump code for southparkstudios. Any episode will do.

It was kindly suggested I use tubedigger, but I was hoping to use python or cmd to replicate the rtmpdump arguments so that I can just switch out the episode and season name have one batch file that can be used to download all seasons, all episodes

Is there any way I am able to intercept the code that is used by programs like tubedigger and getflv.

When I was trying it about a month ago, RTMPExploreX gave me this:
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://viacomspstrmfs.fplive.net:1935/viacomspstrm" -a "viacomspstrm" -f "WIN 11,6,602,171" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/prime/mediaplayerprime.2.3.4.swf?uri=mgid:arc:episodeouthparkstudios.com:12381640-9327-4aba-9ff2-f9b8e1d6ec00&type=network&ref=www.southparkstudios.com&geo=US&group=entertainment&network=None&device=Other&CONFIG_URL=http%3a%2f%2fmedia.mtvnservices.com%2fp mt%2fe1%2fplayers%2fmgid%3aarc%3aepisode%3asouthpa rkstudios.com%3a%2fcontext3%2fconfig.xml%3furi%3dm gid%3aarc%3aepisode%3asouthparkstudios.com%3a12381 640-9327-4aba-9ff2-f9b8e1d6ec00%26type%3dnetwork%26ref%3dwww.southpar kstudios.com%26geo%3dUS%26group%3dentertainment%26 network%3dNone%26device%3dOther" -p "http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s16e12-a-nightmare-on-face-time" -C B:0 -C S:mp4:gsp.comedystor/com/sp/season-16/1612/acts/sp_1612_5J63N4C2X9F_act1_rev_768x432_750.mp4 -y "mp4:gsp.comedystor/com/sp/season-16/1612/acts/sp_1612_5J63N4C2X9F_act1_rev_768x432_750.mp4" -o sp_1612_5J63N4C2X9F_act1_rev_768x432_750.flv


Which didn't work.

Whenever I ask for help with ripping http://watchdisneychannel.go.com/ it seems to go overlooked. I am willing to work with any party around-the-clock to figure out how to rip these videos, just so long as we find an answer. If you do not have a valid proxy, I would be glad to test things out for myself and stay in communication with you to deduce which method will work. Will somebody please help me?

[jairovital]

I use DownloadHelper everytime I want to download videos from this site:

http://globoesporte.globo.com/programas/esporte-espetacular/

It works fine for the most of the videos. But, sometimes, it refuses do download. If finisehes the download quickly, with zero byte.

IDM always shows an error like "Some servers don't allow to download same video twice" and refuses to download too.

I tried StreamTransport without success. The page doesn't load, neither video. Same with Tubedigger.

My system is WinXP and IE 8.

I'm trying to download this video.

http://globoesporte.globo.com/esporte-espetacular/videos/t/edicoes/v/confira-a-primeira-parte-da-disputa-de-levantamento-forca-bruta/2542772/

I don't know the right syntax for rtmpdump.

I also tried rtmpexplorer, URLSnooper and VideoCacheView. None works...

Anyone could help?

[supagui1]

Are AES-128-TS streams downloadable?

[Bahman]

Bahman, when he was still around, always used to say that Brightcove videos were among the easier ones to download.

I still say that

There were dozens of concrete examples provided by Bahman earlier in this thread (sadly, he no longer seems to be participating here . . . ), plus some by a couple other members.

Ach du lieber ! Sounds like that site (again) that had Bahman running for the Exits.

Seeker47, It's Kind of you that you still remember me here I was accidentally searching my name in google, and then saw your posts

I'm happy to see that some old members like Chap, Seeker47, bat999, jairovital are still here and help others. Thank you guys!

[jairovital]

Bahman, definitely you're an honorable member of this thread. Your tips and contribution for a large number of users around Videohelp always has been valuable. Welcome back!

BTW, please, send some clues about my question at post #1038. I don't know how to use the string that chapun67 posted at #1040. How to put it in rtmpdump?

[Bahman]

Thank you man, That's kind of you!
He meant that you have to use "Ipad user agent" (an Ipad or change your use agent in browsers) in order to download that link

[mike20021969]

IDM always shows an error like "Some servers don't allow to download same video twice" and refuses to download too.

Anyone could help?

You need to take control of the download immediately with IDM.

In IDM, Options>Downloads, check the following box, then OK it:



Go to General>Keys:



Make a note of the key that is checked or check it yourself, then OK it:



Now, refresh the web page which has the video you want to download, then immediately hold down that Ctrl key.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RELEASE THE KEY.
When the Download window appears, click Start Download. Once the download starts, you may release the Ctrl key. (The flash player on the page will show an error message).

[Seeker47]

So great to see you back again on VH. You have been a legendary contributor on this subject, and you were definitely missed ! (Were you still around, over at stream-recorder.com or github . . . ?)

I think there is probably a FF extension (maybe a Google Chrome one too) for controlling the User Agent reporting. Otherwise, with the former you'd have to find it in the detailed and technical "About:Config"; not sure for Chrome.

[Seeker47]

Regarding IDM, I have been disturbed at the extent to which it digs deep into your system, attaches itself at key points, tries to totally take over download functions, and then is very difficult to get rid of, should you ever want to do so. I turned OFF its automatic download control for FF or Chrome, because there are times when I would want IDM to go after some specific item, and there are many other times when I don't want to hear from IDM at all. (As the user, you should always be able to select which tool you are going to employ for a given task.)

IDM does insist on entwining itself tightly around Win Explorer. It has key .DLLs that cannot be removed by the file / process / service -killer utilities I have tried, at least not without trashing Win Explorer and thereby taking down your whole desktop. (This may even be true of Portable IDM -- I'm not sure about that yet.) So this means one needs to resort to Safe Mode or -- as I did -- booting in with Knoppix live CD, or something like that, in order to remove them. In my view, this is simply unacceptable behavior for any "good citizen" of the software world.

[mike20021969]

tries to totally take over download functions

I thought the whole point of IDM is that it takes care of downloading your media files?

IDM can be disabled in any browser.
e.g. It can be disabled via the Tools>Add-ons for Firefox.

Also, you can remove ANY file extension that you don't want it to download for you.

It's very configurable if you take the time to set it up.

e.g.:



I've been using it for around 17 months and it's a great media downloading tool.

Thank you man no, I hadn't time to be there, and still have not
you are right, even it can be changed with developer tools of browsers

[jairovital]

@ mike20021969,

Many thanks, mate! It worked fine!

In fact, I had been trying, many times, that customized keys for prevent or force download with IDM, but never could do that. The secret is to press the key before and keep holding until download starts.

I second that, IDM is a very useful tool.

[mike20021969]

@ mike20021969,

No probs. Have a great day

Thank you Bahman, Chapun67 and mike20021969.

Now, I have two new ways to get videos from that site:
1 - Using IDM, with custom keys to prevent/force IDM
2 - Changing UserAgent in browser.

and

3 - My old fashion way: DownloadHelper.

This is why this thread is king!
