Videos that doesn't stream if Real Media Catcher is recording.

[Gingko]

Hello,

I tried to capture streaming videos from the following site :
www.recordme.tv
... using Real Media Catcher 3.0 (built Aug 21 2008).

This is a site that you can ask for recording French Digital TV programs, and once these programs have been broadcast, you can view them on your computer using Adobe Shockwave Flash (probably on RMTPT protocol) during 15 days.

The strange thing is, if you open Real Media Catcher for recording the stream, you are no longer to play it from the web site.
It is like if the video plug-in was aware of the existence of Real Media Catcher and refused to play if Real Media Catcher is recording.

Of course, as the video cannot play, you cannot record the video with RMC either.

Is somebody aware of this kind of problem ?

Hi,

I know your problem!
I have exact the same problem with the following Website.
It´s the website from "THE" german News-Show "Tagesschau".
My Steps:
1. I bookmark the Website with the Flash-Video.

Example:
http://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/...deo356346.html

2. I delete the temorary Internet Cache.
3. I start the Replay Media Catcher.
4. I open my browser with a blank Startpage.
5. I open the Bookmark from point "1"
6. And then I see the "Loading-Circle"....
7. And the video dont start!!!!!
After that...
8. I close the Replay Media Catcher
9. I reload the website from my bookmarks
10. After two seconds the video starts.

The video dont start, when the Replay Media Catcher is running!!!
The answer from the support:
"You can select the Windows Media Player at this site!
Try this option for download the show!!!"
That was not my problem!
I would like to download the FLV-File!!!

Greetings

I just tried the recording on your Tagesschau site, with exactly the same result as you : the video doesn't start when Replay Media Catcher is recording.

For me, maybe using the Windows Media Player option could have been a solution.

The problem is, on the web site www.recordme.tv, there is no option like using Windows Media Player :
FLV is the only available format.

Have you tried web stream dumper? Tools | settings | tick box. I have to restart RMC after turning on Web Stream Dumper. Then open browser to the video and let it run the whole show. RMC captures everything that was viewed in that browser.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I just tried RMC with Web Stream Dumper.
Unfortunately, this doesn't change anything : even like that, the video doesn't play as long as RMC is recording. I need to stop recording for being able to have the video playing in the browser.

By the way, it doesn't make sense to restart RMC after turning on Web Stream Dumper : the state of the Web Stream Dumper option is not saved after quitting and relaunching the RMC application.

Hello,

I just want to add the following concerning the site "recordme.tv" from which I cannot download videos because videos cannot play if Real Media Catcher is recording.

It looks like (from my network analysis) that videos from this site are streamed using a software server named "Wowza Media Server Pro". You can read this page for knowing the features of this server.

If you look under the "Secure" tab, you will see the following :

Wowza Pro offers a complete suite of security measures to guard your streamed content form intrusion, unauthorized diversion and ripping. In addition to conventional measures like trusted domains/IP addresses and encrypted transport tunneling with RTMPE/RTMPS, Wowza's unique SecureToken, an encrypted challenge/response methodology, provides strong protection against threats from streaming media ripping products like Replay Media Catcher.

I think that the Replay Media Catcher developer team is going to have a challenge, there ...
