Its weird. Nothing shows up even in Orbit’s Grab++. I guess you will have to use a screen recorder.

You may find Flashgot (http://flashgot.net/), a Firefox extension, useful, It’s great for grabbing those stubborn peaces of media.

I would like to download this streaming video http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/todos/abecedario/R.html#593858 but don’t know how to. No matter if I use Safari or IE. Normally I would double click on the largest (and increasing) Activity file in Safari and off it goes but it doesnt work with this video (and I dont see the big video file in Activity either). Any hints?

On Fedora 11 x86_64, all videos streamed over flash are stored by Firefox in the “/tmp” directory. Saving the vid is a simple matter of copy-paste.

Note: Firefox deletes the temporary file as soon as you navigate away from the page.

Try the method I mentioned (i.e. Naviscope or Orbit). It works with streaming WMP videos.

I want to save the video to my comp. I was able to do it before, but only on the WMP 9. Should I switch back to try and save video or is there a way of saving streaming video on WMP 11?

Naviscope doesn’t work. I have tried it with IE. Proxy is set. Is working fine for Youtube. But here: Nothing…

the timing is bit of a problem for me. Unfortunately I am going on a vacation and wont be able to come online for a couple of weeks. I will try and help you out after that.
Meanwhile can you please try naviscope and see if that helps?

Are you trying to download a live streaming video?Unfortunately that is not possible.
For that you need to use replay media catcher or similar products.

Hi Pallab,

since some weeks these things do not work any more for this site (this links are only working from 20:00 to 6:00, european time):
http://rtl-now.rtl.de/diepatin.php

With Orbit 3.01 you can fetch the correct url for the stream, but it doesn’t work. Only with replay media catcher… Here it works with the same link. Under properties you can see the link in another way (two parts):

Downloading RTMP stream:
RTMP App: rtmp://fms.rtl.de/rtlnow/_definst_
Media Path: 139/E74373_FA001_700k?ivw=di…………………………………..

Do you have any idea?

Regards
Thomas

Replay Media Catcher is a nice software. Unfortunately it’s not free. I have by and large tried to use only free software in this guide.
