Python knowledge? ustream script
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


See User information
Following script is meant to retrieve video together with rtmpdump. But it probably does not work with python 2.5 (recommendation was 2.6 or 2.7). Anybody see why that is?

Of course you could try it with a later python to see if it still works.

Quote:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# This script finds the rtmpdump command syntax for opening a UStream stream.

import sys
import urllib2
import re


def getVideoData(url):
# Get the HTML contents
req = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
html = response.read()

# Extract the channel ID from the HTML
channelId = None
m = re.search("Channel\sID\:\s+(\d+)", html)
if (m):
channelId = m.group(1)

# Extract the channel title from the HTML
channelTitle = None
m = re.search("property\="og\:url"\s+content\="http\:\/\/www." +
"ustream\.tv\/(?:channel\/)?([^"]+)"", html)
if (m):
channelTitle = m.group(1)

amfContent = None
if (channelId):
amfUrl = ("http://cdngw.ustream.tv/Viewer/getStream/1/"
+ channelId + ".amf")
response = urllib2.urlopen(amfUrl)
amfContent = response.read()

rtmpUrl = re.search("(rtmp\:\/\/[^\x00]+)", amfContent).group(1)
f = open('tmp.txt', 'w')
f.write(amfContent)
streamName = re.search("streamName(?:\W+)([^\x00]+)",
amfContent).group(1)

return (channelId, channelTitle, rtmpUrl, streamName)


def getRtmpCommand(rtmpUrl, streamName):
result = ("rtmpdump -v -r "" + rtmpUrl + "/" + streamName + """
" -W "http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf" --live")
return result


def main(argv=None):
# Process arguments
if argv is None:
argv = sys.argv[1:]

usage = ("Usage: ustreamRTMPDump.py <ustream channel url> [filename]\n"
"e.g. "ustreamRTMPDump.py 'http://www.ustream.tv/ffrc'"")

if (len(argv) < 1):
print usage
return

# Get RTMP information and print it
url = argv[0]
print "Opening url: " + url + "\n"

(channelId, channelTitle, rtmpUrl, streamName) = getVideoData(url)
print "Channel ID: " + channelId
print "Channel Title: " + channelTitle
print "RTMP URL: " + rtmpUrl
print "RTMP Streamname: " + streamName + "\n"

rtmpCmd = getRtmpCommand(rtmpUrl, streamName)
print "RTMP Command:\n" + rtmpCmd

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()


Here's the error it produces when you feed it a suitable URL:

Take care with the indentation if you copypaste the script.

That means you're trying to use a variable before it's initialized. Add two lines to the beginning of the getVideoData function:

def getVideoData(url):
rtmpUrl = ""
streamName = ""

Also I had to add type casting to line 77:
print "Channel ID: " + str(channelId)

I dabbled a bit more but it's still not getting the channelId right.
