Why can MPlayer open a rtmp video but cannot download it?
when I open a rtmp movie with Mplayer I can see the streaming but when I try to download it I have:
"ERROR: Closing connection: NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound"
anyone knows something about?
I am running linux mint 13 based on Ubuntu Precise.

Post the link to the video.
Post the command string that you are using to download it.

You can try these two flags with mplayer: -dumpfile and -dumpstream
mplayer -dumpfile filename.xxx -dumpstreamm <URL of video stream>
if that doesn't work, install a firefox plugin called DownloadHelper.
If the video is protected then mplayer and Downloadhelper won't cut it. Your last option, if you really want the video, is to do a screencast recording of the browser window as the video is playing.

only if you ARE the legal holder of the copyright
but then you would not have to do that
suggesting copyright infringement is a bit against the forum rules

thanks for the replies
Hi,
I don't know if the video is protected, but with vlc on a windows PC I can save it.
On the contrary vlc installed in LinuxMint does nothing.
Mplayer can play the rtmp but when I tried the command:
mplayer -dumpfile filename.mp4 -dumpstreamm <URL of video stream>
4 hours have passed and nothing happened!
so I decided to use curl or rtmpdump but the NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error comes out.
DownloadHelper (and similar) doesn't recognize the rtmp...
unfortunately I can no longer use the windows PC...

please define " dose nothing"
did you install any of the non free codecs , they are not normally installed by default
and what version of VLC ?
vlc 1 or the current vlc 2
and can you post a link to this " non working URL"
i use the QT front end to mplayer "Smplayer" and have no issues with one of my YouTube videos
http://youtu.be/ObRGqnMi158
i open that link in the qt4 gui ( copy / paste ) and it plays

No one is remotely suggesting copyright infringement!
The absurdity of the concept of intellectual property! If the hardware and software are capable of storing a sequence of images that appear in his browser window on his own computer during some period of time absolutely, that unequivocally does not harm anyone in any way whatsoever - EVER! There is no need to ask permission from anyone EVER for such a thing!

ok
hi,
"does nothing" means that when I open the url, vlc stays in the idle mode (black screen with the traffic cone) until I have to close it. I have VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower installed.
I have also tried smplayer, but acts the same way as vlc.
I didn't install codecs, how to do it?
I simply run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras!
I am a newbie.
Otherwise can I store the complete video in the mplayer's cache folder from the interface?
I attempted to install mplayerplug-in but got me Dependency satisfiable error.
It isn't a problem of a single rtmp url, but of all the ones I tried.
For example the video in this page:
http://home.popcorntv.it/video/?cid=11329
smi for the rtmp:
http://rrr.sz.xlcdn.com/?account=del...za&output=smil

Hi
To download this type of video, MPlayer or VLC are no use.
It can be downloaded with RTMPDump.
This is the command that worked for me ---> ___http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=g5Bg9yHu
(But sometimes the commands "time out", so my command might not work for you when you come to try it)

I realized my mistake: I wrote the swf and the playpath wrongly. Sorry everyone.
So I decided to do another download, but once rtmpdump had finished, the file did not come properly: there are frequent still images. While the audio goes, the video remain locked at the same frame every X time.
I thought that the solution could be removing the -v command, but doing in this way rtmpdump always starts downloading again from scratch after some time.
Is there a way to get an autoresume on rtmpdump to prevent the restart loop?
or at the most to ensure that the program will stop instead of start again downloading.
To sum up the question thread:
Mplayer can play rtmp video, but for download I must use rtmpdump.
