Adobe has issued a DMCA removal request for rtmpdump

It seems that Adobe, after issuing a press release claiming they would be opening up the RTMP protocol in the ‘first half of 2009′, have issued a DMCA take down request for an open source implementation of the protocol, RTMPdump. The SourceForge project site for RTMPdump now shows ‘Invalid Project’.
This is going to mean it’s going to become much harder to get RTMPdump for downloading copies of ABC’s iView files, which I previously posted about. This might also have interesting consequences for XBMC and Boxee which both include this code for supporting streaming media from BBC’s iPlayer.
This is pretty disappointing from Adobe, especially after claiming they would be in the process of opening up the protocol.
Dude, I need some help
can u post the EXACT command you enter and output u get of RTMPdump for a current episode on iView…
It will REALLY help me…
thanks in advance
Are you using linux?
Yes, I’m dual booting winxp/ubuntu.
Keeps coming up with an error after everything. I’ve run version 1.4 and 1.5 on both Windows and Linux with the commands given by you and this guy (http://www.andybotting.com/wordpress/abcs-iview-on-xbmc-update-1#comment-6269) and I keep getting the same error.
I doubt it’s the token, echo’ing ${TOKEN} works fine.
I’m on windows atm. I just ran it with a fresh token and this is what comes up.

E:\rtmpdump>
shit thats and old episode aswell, i did the new ep of chaser and the same thing came up.
dw, now finally got it working. many problems with quotation marks and all that, it may have to do with the version i had. I used ver1.5 downloaded of a torrent. The command works fine on both Windows and Ubuntu versions of rtmpDUMP (except have to manually get token on win)
This is the command i used to download Episode 1 of Season 3 of Chaser’s War on Everything:
TOKEN=`curl -q http://202.125.43.119/iview.asmx/isp | grep token | sed ‘s///g’ | sed ‘s/\&/\&/g’ | sed ‘s,,,g’ | sed ‘s/ //g’`; echo ${TOKEN}; ‘/media/disk-1/rtmpdump/rtmpdump-32bit-x86-ubuntu-1.5′ -r rtmp://203.18.195.10:1935/ondemand?auth=${TOKEN} -a ondemand?auth=${TOKEN} -y /catch_up/chaser_09_03_01 -u auth=${TOKEN} -t rtmp://cp53909.edgefcs.net/ondemand?auth=${TOKEN} -o test.fl
I thought I’d take a peek at ol’ andy.com and was nixed in my tracks by a saturation of utter geek speak.
Hows things ?
Free for; Curry / Lunch / ? – Next weekend ?
RTMPdump was apparently taken down because of the ability to watch RTMP encrypted streams.
FLVstreamer is RTMPdump, without that ability. I fully expect XBMC and Boxee to just remove the ability to watch encrypted streams (if they haven’t already).
Still, you are right – it’s quite disappointing.
Interestingly, Adobe has still released the RTMP documentation:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp/
It is so typical for adobe anyways…
