3- Download and install URLsnooper from here http://urlsnooper.en.softonic.com Windows 7 users: right clic on the urlsnooper.exe file / properties/Compatibility/Compatibility Mode and check the WindowsXP compatibility.
4- Rtmp urls: THIS STEP HAS TO BE DONE ONLY ONE TIME:
You need to know what are the ogn and/or mbc rtmp urls to be able to download the streams.
Launch URLsnooper, File/ check "Advanced mode"
General options/ Auto determine Network adaptater now
Search/Keyword filter field: rtmp then clic "sniff network"
Go on ongamenet.com, login in, then click here
It launches a popup window with the stream in it. Wait until the adds are gone and you're actually receiving the live stream then close this window.
Check URLsnooper and you'll get the rtmp url for OGN, right clic on it "copy the selcted URL on the clipboard".
(For MBC rtmp, it's the same process but instead of going on ongamenet.com go here: http://mbc.ferron.pe
These steps only has to be done once because ogn and mbc doesnt change their rtmp url that often.
Launch Orbit Clic on New then fill the form:
Then clic "download" whenever you want... >> The file created has to be opened with VLC (www.videolan.org/vlc)
The best part is you can use the schedule feature to launch the download automatically when you're away or sleeping:
I highly recommand that you configure the schedule feature by clicking on that button instead of directly configures it from the "Create New download" form (trust me about it).
Dont forget to configure when Orbit has to stop the download. Count 3h30 or 4 hours to be sure...
And voila
Now you can watch the games when you want and way before youtube uploaders upload them. You can even watch them while it's still downloading, just open the file with VLC.
Don't tell me this is new for you guys? I thought this was common knowledge, at least for the OGN stream. I've been doing similar things in the past with with LiveHTTPHeaders, a Firefox addon, and VLC.
The main problem isn't getting the real stream urls, but actually having a good connection to those to be able to record/rebroadcast them. It seemed to be pretty much impossible 6 months ago, even with a good server in central Europe.

Yeah not all of us are internet gosuz. :p This is a great guide. Thank you!
If the OGN and MBC streams regularly lag for you, your resulting download from this is probably not going to be that great. The way this works is the downloader connects to the RTMP stream and outputs it to a file instead of to your screen. As you can imagine, a bad connection will cause loss of data.
However, if those streams don't lag for you, enjoy your recordings. That scheduling feature could be real useful.
@Doso: OGN actually massively increased the number of servers they had serving this stream; it was running pretty well at that point. Unfortunately they've changed their system slightly and this isn't the case anymore. MBC.. generally only reports as having one server streaming, but they keep changing it. I have no idea what the hell they're trying to do.

Oh I was just going to say this. Cheers you tech genius you
I think it's still much easier for everyone to just download the VODs off of youtube. We do have robots nevake for a reason.

No, this is something completely different. About half a year ago most of the Korean sites moved from MMS to RTMP for streaming. So far you can't use VLC to restream or record RTMP streams. Getting the stream URLs isn't as trivial as well as they won't show up in any Firefox plugin.
True though that a decent connection is essential or parts of the recording will be skipped.

I would imagine they have traffic monitors to prevent this sort of thing, so if one person retranslates the stream to us (mystlord for example) via livestream, it's fine, but when they suddenly see a spike of an extra 1000 users trying to use their direct stream they know something is up.
