Replay Media Catcher 4.0 Can't Download Content From ADOBE TV

Although this site claims it can download videos, in reality it can only download ads, not the actual video content.
When I contacted Tech Support they kept insisting that they could download just fine.

Finally they attached one of the videos they "successfully" downloaded to an e-mail and sent it to me. It was an AD not the 17min training video.

Has anyone been able to downland real content from Adobe TV?

I have tried to download from Adobe TV. I downloaded an RTMP stream with RMC 4.10 without any problem. Any specific URLs you have problems with?

RMC doesn't, indeed, support RTMPE streams, but the stream that I tried to watch was using RTMP protocol, and I didn't have any problem downloading it with RMC 4.

I have also recorded from Adobe TV without an issue. Please see if deleting your temp files makes a difference. Also, always start recording first and then go to what you want to capture.

Hi there,

Im ONLY able recording streams from tv.adobe.com only when setting RTMP streams instead of download.
Unfortuneately this takes much longer, because recording only takes place as long as the video is playing.

If setting to download it appears to stuck in"...sending create stream..."

I wonder RMC 3 is still recording without any problems

Any ideas?

I used rtmpdump.exe (v2.3) as a plug-in for Replay Media Catcher 4 for downloading from Adobe TV instead of using Real Time RTMP Recording mode:

My settings:

Code:

---

protocol: RTMP
URL match: cp48521.edgefcs.net
executable: rtmpdump.exe
parameters: -r "{url}" -o "{file}"  --app "{app}" --flashVer "{flashVer}" --swfUrl "{swfUrl}" --tcUrl "{tcUrl}" --pageUrl "{pageUrl}" --playpath "{playPath}"

Thanks for the reply, stream-recorder.com, and sorry for starting another thread on this topic. I installed rtmpdump as a plugin for RMC, following your example, but I couldn't get it to work with Adobe TV. All the videos I tried to capture start with "edge.tv.adobe.com", so I tried substituting that term in the Url Match field. RMC detects the stream and starts, but soon terminates with the status "Complete with errors". Here's an example of what the Progress log reports:

I have tried the Short and Suite - Color Finesse Workflow Primary Grading video from Adobe TV. I was able to download it with Replay Media Catcher 4 in the RTMP downloading mode (so I haven' tried to use rtmpdump on edge.tv.adobe.com)

Hmmm. Well, I'm at a loss to figure it out. You've obviously got it working. But when I try to download that exact same video, in the Replay Media Center 4 (trial version) RMTP downloading mode, it always gets stuck at the Sending createStream step. Here's what the Progress log shows:

I got my son, who is a computer programmer and pretty savvy about these things, to give it a try using his system in a different city. He tried it with and without rtmpdump, but couldn't get it to download either. It's a puzzle.
