commandline tool to download stream from Red5 ?

Looking for a decent tool to download with Linux (not Windows, got tools for that) on the commandline streams (VOD) from Red5 to emulate a single end-user.

Tried VLC, rtmpdump, gnash but can't get them to work. I want to be able to download from commandline (no GUI whatsover) on a Linux-box from my own beloved Red5 servers to do accurate loadtesting.

Since the test-client for this assignment doesn't have Red5 on it I can't use Daniel's Red5Bench.

How easy is it to construct a tool with RTMPClient ? I don't even have to nor want to save the stream to disc, actually I rather not save it, to mimimize load on my test-client (server in a datacenter) so it can bash my Red-Fivers even more.

In the end I want to be able to start the commandline tool with (my own) scripts to emulate load of say 10,100, 1000 simultaneous viewers on a single, few or random amount of available VODs.

If someone can aid me with the proper tool I'll write some bash-scripts (or perhaps cli-based PHP, that's even easier to read for most) and dump them here for you all to use for load-testing.

Tnx in advance,

Walter
