Please note this is work in progress...
1st things 1st, to keep this in content we are using RTMPDump for "live streaming" to VLC or MPlayer or any other player that is supported. If you are after downloading videos with RTMPDump things dont change that much but a good add-on to have along side is get-flash-videos. So please keep this discussion about "live streaming" with RTMPDump and not downloading video.
Q. What is RTMPDump...?
A. RTMPDump is a toolkit for RTMP streams. All forms of RTMP are supported, including rtmp://, rtmpt://, rtmpe://, rtmpte://, and rtmps://.

A FEW TIPS: Here ill give you 2 ways to make RTMPDump just work ok.
Tip 1
Copy rtmpdump.exe to your C:\Windows\System32 Folder.
Tip 2
a) Make a new Folder on your C:\ Drive(Root) and call it
rtmpdump and place rtmpdump.exe in there.
b) From your desktop right click My Computer(XP) Computer(Vista, 7) then choose...
Code:
Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables... --> System Variables --> Path
c) Click Edit and add right at the end this exactly as i have it...
NOTE: Very important dont delete any other text or youll f*ckup your computer.
Click Ok, Ok.
d) Now to test if rtmpdump is working open a CMD window and type
rtmpdump -h and hit Enter.
Now rtmpdump works from anywhere as its a system variable...
Compiling RTMPDump using MinGW.
Code:
1. Get zlib from the following link:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm
Extract the archive and copy file "zlib1.dll" into your \MinGW\lib directory.
2. Get openssl from:
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Select the "full" installer. Install and copy files "libeay32" "ssleay32" with
extensions ".dll", ".lib" ".def" ".a" into \MinGW\lib and the files
from \OpenSSL\include
into \MinGW\include\openssl .
2.5. Download & Extract RTMPDump source tarball.
3. Edit the Makefile of rtmpdump and change the line:
LIBS=-lcrypto -lz
into:
LIBS=-llibeay32 -llibssl32 -lzlib1
4. Compile rtmpdump and run

Compiling RTMPDump
Code:
1. Download and extract the latest RTMPDump source tarball, open a Terminal window and cd to the directory you just extracted the sources, i.e. ./rtmpdump-2.3
2. You need to make a small change in the Makefile in the ./librtmp directory, so you need to cd into that directory
3. Edit Makefile in ./librtmp and replace -soname with -dylib_install_name
4. cd ..

Tutorial
A nice and easy to follow tutorial by screensports can be downloaded and will show you how to hunt down RTMP streams and use RTMPDump. - Tutorial : Sniffing + rtmpdump
How to use rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck in Linux(Ubuntu, Mint etc...)
Code:
1. Create a new user account so you can monitor the rtmp protocol --> System --> Administration --> Users and Groups.
2. Create a new user/login account and name it user2.
3. Open a terminal to setup the monitor rules...
Code:
sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -m owner \! --uid-owner user2 -j REDIRECT
4. Next switch to the new user2 account within the terminal...
5. Next launch either rtmpsrv(Live) or rtmpsuck(Record)...
NOTE: If you use rtmpsuck make sure the folder you are going to save the file to is shared between your user accounts otherwise nothing will be downloaded/saved.
6. Start playing/refresh(F5) the stream, rtmpsrv will generate the string/syntax needed to download using rtmpdump or if its rtmpsuck it will begin saving (ONLY if the folder you are currently in is shared) if you use rtmpsrv then you need to copy the syntax and return to your default user account, in terminal press Ctrl & C and type...
7. Still in the terminal cancel the monitoring rule...
Code:
sudo iptables -t nat -F
8. Now the syntax that you copied from rtmpsrv can be put into rtmpdump...
Code:
rtmpdump "syntax" | Media Player
NOTE: Dont forget to pipe(|) it to your Media Player(MPlayer, VLC etc...) of choice.
flvstreamer a re-fork of rtmpdump-2.1c
Q. What is flvstreamer...?
A. flvstreamer is an open source command-line RTMP client intended to stream audio or video content from all types of flash or rtmp servers. Forked from rtmpdump v1.6 with encrypted rtmp and swf verification support removed. This tool provides free interoperability with the previously undocumented adobe RTMP protocol so widely in use on the internet today. It was developed entirely by reverse engineering methods and without access to any proprietary or restrictive-license protocol specifications.
