Help getting stream parameters.
The ABC iView site ( http://www.abc.net.au/iview/ ) just added a 24 hour news streaming video. This is different to it's other videos on the site as it never stops streaming (obviously). I'm having some problems figuring out how to find the right perameters to download some of the stream. Here is a copy of the command line output: http://pastebin.com/yXPG3fXt I also tried to use rtmpsuck, but I'm not sure if I have it working properly. Here is the output from rtmpsuck: http://pastebin.com/qg4KDbBR I'm unsure how to proceed. Any ideas? Cheers, Yansky.
It seems that in your first rtmpsuck, http://pastebin.com/yXPG3fXt, you were connecting to an 'ondemand' stream. This points out that you weren't capturing data for the right stream. If you look in the iView API2, the client fetches http://tviview.abc.net.au/iview/api2/?series=2932730&BulkLoaderNoCache=2_2_28619 which if you look inside has a different RTMP server. (for me it's rtmp://cp81899.live.edgefcs.net/live/news24-hi@28773 ) Redirecting cp81899.live.edgefcs.net back to your rtmpsuck should make the parameters a bit more obvious. Skipping over all the details, the summary of what the rtmpdump syntax is: rtmpdump -r "rtmp://cp81899.live.edgefcs.net/" -y "news24-hi@28773" -a "live/news24-hi@28773?auth=daEd1dV...&aifp=v001" -W "http://www.abc.net.au/iview/images/iview.jpg" -p "http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/programs/587926" -v -o livestream.flv Your auth parameters will be different but apart from that as long as you are using the Akami servers it should be the same.

Yep, that was it exactly. I had put cp53909.edgefcs.net in my hosts file rather than cp81899.live.edgefcs.net. Works great now. Cheers.
