As I said before you need to look into the RTP protocol.  There are
utilities for proxying and dumping the stream parameters.  Once they are
known you can pull them in using rtmpdump.  Sometimes the stream
parameters can be determined from the web page.  get_iplayer, for
instance, can create rtp parameters for BBC programs and then stream
them with rtmpdump, since the parameters seem to be well defined and
consistent.  But every streaming site is going to be different.  I
posted the link to the rtmpdump utilities in my other post.  You may be
to drive rtmpdump from Python.
