Things you will need find them from google they are all free
1.VLC player
2.RTMP DUMP
3.RTMP Dump Helper
Step 1 open up command prompt
step 2 to command prompt default line add
Desktop\rtmpdump\
[this is because my rtmpdump folder is located on my desktop for ease of use and lots less typing]
step 3 use rtmp dump helper to gain the full rtmp address (full instructions are below)
step 4 remove everything after " -o
step 5 add the following after " -o no spaces!
- | "F:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -
[this is where my vlc.exe file is located you should use where your vlc.exe is located
normally will be the same as mine but c:\]
step 6 make sure everything is on 1 line "if you were to copy and paste this into notepad"
step 7 hit enter
step 8 optional its a hell of a lot easier to do all this in notepad or wordpad the just copy and pase the entire
lot into command promt and hit enter only takes a few mins and you can save the address
btw to paste into command prompt its right click paste not ctrl v copying is explained below
How to use rtmp dump to find full rtmp address how to use rtmp dump helper
Step 1.1 download rtmp dump and unzip to a folder on desktop called rtmpdump (its free)
[just type rtmpdump into google if you cant find it and you dont deserve to watch live stream tv
or you can find a guide on the internet to show you how to find and download it]
[obviously you need to make a new folder on the desktop and call it rtmpdump]
step 1.2 download rtmp dump helper google rtmpdumphelper (its free)
step 1.3 download rtmp dump helper and extract it to your rtmpdump folder
step 1.4 double click rtmpdumphelper.exe
step 1.5 goto the menu bar at the top go to options sub menu apears select RTMPDump options
step 1.6 an options window pops up look for "executable to run" to the right is a dropdown box
step 1.7 in the drop downbox select "RTMP Server - rtmpsvr.exe" then click ok
step 1.8 if you get an error message at this point or no options in the dropdown box its because you have not
extracted the RTMPdump zip and rtmpdumpHelper zip into the same folder so do it and start again...
step 1.9 a magic command prompt box has just appeared it should have a line that says something like
Streaming on rtmp://0.0.0.0:1935
This is the rtmpsvr command prompt window dont touch it yet just leave it running in the background
step 1.10 dont use step 2 unless you have to...
step 1.11 If by some miricale you have read this far without VLC player you should download it (its free)
Step 2 find rtmpsrv.exe in rtmpdump folder and double click if you accidently close the rtmpsvr command prompt
window that appears or if you want to do this for a new tv stream
step 3 goto firefox and launch the webpage with the live stream you want to watch
[press play or refresh the page if you need to give the process a jump start]
step 4 have a look at the rtmpsrv command prompt window
Step 5 maximise the window
step 6 look for rtmpdump -r "rtmp:
step 7 look at the bottom of command prompt screen you should see moving numbers then scroll up to the rtmp: again
step 8 right click on the blue window bar of command prompt
step 9 menu pops up go to edit and select all
step 10 the command window background is now white and the writing is black
step 11 hit the enter key to copy the entire page
step 12 open up notepad
step 13 rightclick and paste into notepad
step 14 you can now close rtmp command prompt window press crtl and c you can also close rtmpdump helper if you want
Step 14.1 go to the notepad file you just pasted into..
step 15 Look for rtmpdump -r "rtmp: there will be a bunch of lines grouped together keep these but delete
everything else above and below this group
step 16 being !!!very!!! carefull make the group of lines which starts rtmpdump -r "rtmp: all fit onto 1 line
Make sure you dont delete any charecters just goto the very left of where the line directly below
-r "rtmp: starts and press backspace once and once only then scroll back to the left and do it again
This way when you finnish you have not deleted any charecters or spaces that should be there
step 17 Now you have the full rtmp address
step 18 follow the instructions above making sure you edit where its necessary for you filesystem structure
I really doubt your primary harddrive is labled as F:\ like mine is
step 19 if you have followed the instructions correctly and not deleted anything from the rtmp address
vlc pops open with your stream
step 20 no questions as i wont respond and this guide is so simple even a noob like me can do it
btw im such a noob it took me 13 hours to figure out how to do this on my own even with all the guides on
the internet i only wrote this because lots of them make a hell of a lot of assumptions
such as that you know how rtmpdump works...
e.g Desktop\rtmpdump\rtmpdump -r "rtmp://199.9.255.179/app" -a "app" -f "WIN 11,7,700,224" -W "
