As seen from the many answers there must be many ways to do this, but maybe one of the easiest way to go is to take advantage of a Firefox addon like DownloadHelper addon, which has also the advantage of being available on all OSes.
- Install the Firefox addon DownloadHelper,
- run the flash stream in Firefox, the DownloadHelper button should start rolling,
(There are different ways to access this feature, but I will mention one that is clearly accessible no matter the configuration, as the addon has settings to hide or show buttons and options)
- Go to Tools > Video Download Helper (or find is otherwise) > All Actions > [Name of video] > Copy URL.
Some troubleshooting.
Testing such links with VLC I notice that in some cases the player cannot play them or even crashes. But this can be fixed as follows:
The last part of such URLs is something like /video.flv?start=0
. Changing that to /video.flv?
might make it work.
I discovered this when using the other solution, presented below, Internet Download Manager, in order to capture a such video stream: it displays the link but when trying to select it by clicking on it, IDM selects the URL without the last part start=0
(as seen in the image below). But many URLs can be opened in VLC with that last part too.
In Windows, Internet Download Manager is able to sniff such streams and capture them. Again, I find it easier to use in combination with a Firefox addon, FlashGot, but IDM can also be used alone with any browser. When ready to get the video, IDM displays the URL:
Considering the edit:
"Edit: The player is streaming an RTMP stream, not an FLV video file."
RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) uses either FLV or MP4 as video format.
