Streaming video capture problem
I have a friend that perched herself on a plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of a 'live sculpture' project. The streaming video is Flash. And the videos are archived can be viewed later. She want to show this to her mother but her mother has no computer to view it with. Nothing that I have tried will capture the video. Video located here: http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/Margot Any suggestions? -- David signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Re: Streaming video capture problem
I was able to see the video on F9 however no sound. On F11 I get nothing. On F9 it seems mplayer and totem are the only applications I have been able to use to hear sound. Firefox and rythmbox generate no sound. On F11 it's the same thing it seems mplayer is the only app that actually plays sound. Firefox 3.5 wont play sound. This all used to work just fine once.

I guess that I was not clear here. :-) I can view and hear the feed just fine. I am trying to capture it. wget? How?

If you use the FlashBlock plugin for Firefox, any blocked Flash content has a right-click option to copy the location (web address) for it. For un-obscured media in a page, Firefox's page info pop-up lists the different content. And there are download helper plugins that help you to save various things from a page. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Flash block is/was disabled. Actually Adblock Plus was alos a problem. I have tried all of the Firefox extensions.

This all used to work just fine onc In Konqueror (F11) I could see the video, but if sound was there it was minimal - I'm not certain. In Firefox (3.5.1) I could both see and hear it.

Useful for what? Nothing in the blockable items list is the link to the video. Flash Block was not stopping the original viewing. The viewing works with Flash Block enabled and with an 'exception' for the site. Adblock was what stopped the viewing originally. The only URL there is an advertisement that leads to the video.

Looking at the source, the clue may be here:
level3: {
url: '/flowplayer/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.0.swf',
netConnectionUrl:
'rtmp://bskybartsfs.fplive.net/bskybarts'
}

None of those are actual URLs to the video. Of all of these the largest
was 160k. I doubt that a full hour of audio and video would be that
small. ;-)

If that is the case, then there is _no_ file. The only way to grab something like that would be with a script using mplayer or vlc. I don't know how to do that, but that seems to be the only possible solution. I think someone posted an mplayer script to do something like this a few months back, but in that case it was _not_ a flash stream. Maybe the archives will help you here.

Read what I have written very, very carefully. The video was recorded during the hour that she was on the pedestal. That was Sunday afternoon in London. Early Sunday morning here. If you go to the link I posted you can watch the video of what was originally displayed live now. Which means?

That's the easiest trick in the book --- when you click to play a YouTube video, the browser downloads the data in /tmp directory with a name of the type Flash (eg. FlashSjfdEf or such). You simply watch the download progress indicator below the picture, and once it is completed, pause the movie, go to /tmp directory and "cp Flash* ~" to get it in your home directory. Later on you can play it in mplayer or so. This technique is very easy and Just Works, I use it on a daily basis. Of course, you might happen to have more than one Flash* file in /tmp, but I typically copy them all, and later on examine which one I need. Not sure if this will work for the OP, though.

I had no luck with that as it seriously crashed my system several times between 10 minutes and 25 minutes into the screen capture. Crashed seriously enough that it took the reset button to recover.
