Downloading Live Stream Videos


RTMPDUMP is a command line utility for RTMP streams.  Its main purpose is to connect to a RTMP server, capture the stream and save it into  a file. It supports all forms of rtmp, viz: rtmp://, rtmpt://, rtmpe://, rtmpte://, and rtmps:// . Installation of rtmpdump installs: rtmpdump, rtmpsrv, rtmpsuck and rtmpgw. But here in this post, we are going to discuss on the how to of rtmpdump. I am in my ubuntu 12.04 and to install rtmpdump, we use the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install rtmpdump


This should install rtmpdump. Now to capture stream we use the command as follows:

$ rtmpdump -r rtmp://example.com/path/to/video -o rtmp.mp4


-r is for the stream to capture and -o is for the name of output file to which the sream will be saved.
More details on the usage of rtmpdump can be found by the command:

$ man rtmpdump
