downloading from rtmp

[hsimpson]

hi, does anyone know if it is possible to download rtmp files in linux? i'm trying to download streaming content from the bbc iplayer service. i know how to determine what the rtmp address for these files is, but just not how to actually download from there. I know in windows the orbit downloader should do this, but i need to do this in linux..

Its possible to download with the rtmp protocol a nix based downloader like curl or media player like gnash.Whether it will work with your setup is something you will have to check.
Heres the Gnash link http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5974
There should be an unofficial patch to add to libcurl as well floating about somewhere , the patch has not been officially added to curl as yet i think.
