You can play the streams directly through mplayer or vlc.
See VLC-GTK 2.4 for a pre-built GUI solution...

I've attached a .pet of rtmpdump to this thread.
It was compiled in wary 511... should work in recent pups.
I have a list of rtmpdump commands for various live TV channels.
If you can add more channels/stations to the list, that's great!!
You can 'pipe' rtmpdump commands straight to mplayer or vlc.
This allows you to watch live TV streams in vlc or mplayer.
Here is are some example commands, Al Jazeera and BBC World News:
Code: Select all
# rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://aljazeeraflashlivefs.fplive.net/aljazeeraflashlive-live/aljazeera_eng_med | vlc -
# rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://a.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge/bbcworld_vh -W http://msnbclive.eu/getswf.php?name=player.swf -p http://blog.livenewschat.tv/world-newsroom | vlc -
Notice the - (dash) after the vlc command, it's important.
Just remember to finish with a dash (-) at the end...

rtmpsuck - find the stream details you need for more streams
In order to find your own streams, and put them into rtmpdump commands,
you should follow the guide a few posts below...
Essentially it involves setting up IP settings,
running 'rtmpsuck' in a terminal, running your browser as a restricted user,
then finally applying the info shown by rtmpsuck into a command for rtmpdump.
-----------------------------------------------------
On another note, here is the format of my streams list:
Code: Select all
Name of Stream|rtmpdump command
NOTE: This is a mixed list: the streams that don't begin `rtmpdump -v -r` can be loaded simply with:
vlc $URL
(the URLs begin with mms:// or http:// or rtmp:// .. after the first | )
Code: Select all
