RTMP stream capture.

[Nuvo]

Is there anyone on here familiar with the usage of the command line tool called RTMPDump?

I'm trying to capture an on demand stream using RTMP Server v2.4. So far I've managed to capture each advertisement as a separate Flash video file successfully, but I can't capture the programme content.

The RTMP Server reports a handshake mismatch type warning : Client sent 6, Server answered 9.

Can anyone help?

edit: Well I downloaded the ~500MB flash content despite the handshake mismatch and found that I cannot view it as the videocodecid is shown as encv which I believe to be FlashAccess DRM so that has put the kibosh on that.

Are there any tools out there to circumvent this type of DRM?

Cheers

I've had another look at this and found the latest build of the code. The same handshake problem still remains.

not sure if it helps but this looks like a decent place to get assistance. we use it via JWplayer but not something i have had to get involved in at any detailed level

Nice find David, that looks like a good resource to tap with more recent updates than I found in my searches.

Well I've since learned that RTMPDump doesn't currently support Adobe's latest incarnation of RTMPe.

The source content is encrypted, the Flash Media Server packages the content, generates a license and embeds it into the DRM meta data of the content stream. Adobe calls this Protected Dynamic Streaming (PHDS). The Flash Player retrieves the license from the content stream which negates the need for a License Server.
