How to get the rtmp address for the direct-url ?

[Molle71]

Hi,

I would like to watch videos streamed on-line but I am not able to find/define the correct rtmp adress to use as direct-url. Which command line/application should I use ?

Thanks in advance for your Help !

BTW vlc-shares 0.5.4 is great, I was the first one to download it and it corresponds exactely to what I was looking for !!!! You have done a great job !

There is the “add RTMP Stream” wizard in the Online Library Management page (http://192.168.1.1/vlc-shares/onlinelibrary/addrtmp). The params you need to set here are the same you have to use usually with rtmpdump. I forward you to read the rtmpdump documentation for information about the params.

Not every type of stream require all params. For example for the Cielo stream, only RTMP URL is required and the is-live flag enabled. Other stream type could require more “love”: for example, hulu streams require lot of params and some of them must be generated on the fly (hulu is unsupported by rtmpdump right now, it’s just an example).

There are a lot of program for RTMP stream url grabbing. For example: http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4148.

Stream-recorder.com forum has a lot of documentation and tips. Give a look to it

Hi,

I tried the different tools and it’s very difficult to get the rtmp address and to configure it properly in vlc-shares. Do you think that it’s possible to do a cmd dos executable to get the rtmp when we have rtmpsrv installed. Can you also provide some examples of rtmp website with their parameters. I insist on this feature because I think that it can be a huge feature.

Thanks in advance for your feedback

The web is already full of tips about this, you have only to use Google.

Hi,

I found a simple & free tool to find the url (http & rtmp) of a web video. It’s “URL Helper” and it can be found in the following url: http://www.urlhelper.com/
It works for the http url but I am still struggling with the rtmp link. For instance for itele (http://www.itele.fr/direct) i get the following link: rtmp://cp59069.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1Flash-Itele-800@8998 http://player.canalplus.fr/site/flash/player.swf http://www.itele.fr/direct
I tried to put this adress but it didn’t work. Can you try it and make a sreenshot of the parameters you have used ?

Thanks in advance

BTW, when I launch a RTMP link, I get the following apache error message :
[Tue Apr 26 14:26:05 2011] [error] [client 192.168.0.4] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: -1 in C:\Program Files\VLCShares\vlc-shares\library\X\Vlc\Adapter\Windows.php on line 33

PHP Notice != errors …

Anyway:

$ rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp59069.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1"  -y "Flash-Itele-800@8998" -s "http://player.canalplus.fr/site/flash/player.swf" -p "http://www.itele.fr/direct" -o test.flv
