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

[CristianoA]

I also would like to mention that I have tried these methods: None of them work.

StreamTransport
TubeDigger
Replay Media Catcher
Url Snooper
SDP Multimedia

Webpage source and Web developer Network in firefox.

I'm using this as a learning method with the code that was given and worked:

(Video page) https://movies.yahoo.com/video/ellen-page-red-carpet-world-012253758.html

(Url for Ffmpeg) https://hls.video.query.yahoo.com/b4154df0-99c2-3b00-a5bf-e5d7dfffc06b.m3u8?site=movie...sAIVyC57tmD0F5

Can someone please help me find where to get the url from? I often need yahoo videos and I need to know how to get the correct code for ffmpeg. Tried so many things and nothing shows up for me.

Thankyou

With the help of you lovely people, I can grab almost anything! However, yahoo seems to be the only thing I can't seem to get. What do you recommend? I'm trying to get this one: https://movies.yahoo.com/video/ellen-page-red-carpet-world-012253758.html

use ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i "https://hls.video.query.yahoo.com/b4154df0-99c2-3b00-a5bf-e5d7dfffc06b.m3u8?site=movies&region=US&lang=en-US&plrs=vd3QMclFsAIVyC57tmD0F5 -c copy -absf aac_adtstoasc video.mp4

Thankyou Where did you get the yahoo url there to place in the code? Or any other hard to get video sites like bloomberg.com?

Edit: I can't get the code you gave me to work. I have ffmpeg on my C:/ do I need to change something? I tried with and without quotations.

C:\Users\Studio-1749>"ffmpeg -i "https://hls.video.query.yahoo.com/b4154df0-99c2
-3b00-a5bf-e5d7dfffc06b.m3u8?site=movies®ion=US&lang=en-US&plrs=vd3QMclFsAIVyC57
tmD0F5 -c copy -absf aac_adtstoasc video.mp4"
'"ffmpeg -i "https:' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'lang' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'plrs' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I cannot find a single tutorial on how to grab streaming videos with this? They all explain converting files and screen recording from desktop...

use newest version of ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i "https://hls.video.query.yahoo.com/b4154df0-99c2-3b00-a5bf-e5d7dfffc06b.m3u8?site=movies&region=US&lang=en-US&plrs=vd3QMclFsAIVyC57tmD0F5" -c copy -absf aac_adtstoasc video.mp4

It is the latest version... I still need help with my questions please? This doesnt work

The other one I'm trying to get also (assuming it would work the same way with ffmpeg) http://www.bloomberg.com/video/badlwin-cruz-on-woody-allen-s-to-rome-with-love-phlKVoi...3VNA~jzdg.html

download this batch file and run it

http://www20.zippyshare.com/v/56835883/file.html

Excellent, thankyou. This worked

How did you find the yahoo url? Or any other stream. So I can do this in the future without asking you everytime? Thankyou, I am very grateful for your help!

I thought the bloomberg video may be this: http://b5vod-vh.akamaihd.net/z/o/NtaWM3NTrYX9ZlGz2EwSiNxPC77iOnay/DOcJ-FxaFrRg4gtDEwO,...t.f4m?hdcore=1

But it gave me an invalid data found error.

for yahoo

use AdBlock Plus addon as urls sniffer and install User Agent Switcher addon and change user agent to iPhone 3.0

As a simple method, you can use, as a general template

http://hls.video.query.yahoo.com/----placeholder_for_content_id----.m3u8?site=ivy&region=US&lang=en-US

Then, just right click/view source on any yahoo video page and the content id # can be found in the source. There are likely a few dozen instances of the content id #, labeled as "uuid=" or "CONTENT_ID =" or "contentId:"

Insert the content id # value in the template string and now you have a valid link to the m3u8 playlist.

You don't need the plrs= string for the m3u8 playlist, it is only needed for direct links to mp4/webm. This is because when the m3u8 playlist is called, it generates new plrs= strings for each of the .ts segments.

Also, you can use http rather than https for the playlist, which works more smoothly with ffmpeg.

Wow, thankyou CristianoA and Ponens! I'll give both mothods a shot and see how I go.

Hey, guys

I'm trying to download videos from http://www.globaltv.com/rookieblue/index.html

For example this: http://www.globaltv.com/rookieblue/video/webisode/stakeout+oliver+and+gail/watch.html?...okieblue/video

I tried with AdobeHDS, but it's encrypted with FlashAccess DRM and it doesn't work

Is there any other way?

Thanks

[Hoovah]

I was able to only download it twice,but on 66%.

"D:\rtmpdump\rtmpdump.exe" -r "rtmp://video.slavishow.com/slavishow//slavishow/20140323_KRISIA_AINT_NO_SUNSHINE.mp4" -o "D:\video.flv"

It worked! Thank you very much!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Can anyone help me out please, RTMPDumpHelper + RtmpDump, and rtmp explorer also doesn't work anymore with this website.

Anyone got an idea what's the problem ?

[pj_hack]

If i try to resume sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't:

rtmpdump.exe -e -r "rtmpe://cp24806.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mtviestor/_!/intlod/it/ontv/il_testimone/stagione_06/it_iltestimone_608_1280x720_3500_h32.mp4" -o "C:\Temp\messico.mp4"

About ready to throw my laptop through the window, because I've tried everything (within my very basic skill set) to download the following two videos:
http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/1044133/daniel-radcliffe-on-skinny-dipping-in-toronto-vs...tml#id=1727477
http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/1044135/daniel-radcliffe-sings-the-periodic-table-for-ni...tml#id=1727477

I keep getting the handshake 6/handshake 9 error when using rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck, and I don't know enough about it to work out how to correct that. Hoping one of you lovely people could help me out with the correct code or a dl, please!

I have the same problem with videos from e.g. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I can't download them anymore

Can somebody help me?

When I'm trying to download a video,it works but I get images like the one beneath.
This is not al the time,but the audio faltered also,so it's very annoying.
Code:

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://vrt.flash.streampower.be/ketnet2011_nogeo" -y "2014/03/webk_bandits_optreden_20140330_111825_Ketnet2011_D10.flv" -o "c:\one.flv"

Hi!

I'm trying to teach myself to use rtmpdump but I'm failing miserably... can someone teach me how to get this video on a mac (OS 10.9.3).

Thanks in advance

Some live youtube videos allow you to scroll to watch video at an earlier time, is there any way to use ffmpeg or other program to record stream from youtube from earlier from cetrain point.. i see .ts files in the browser console as i watch, but don't know how to get these saved as they come up?
