Try specifying playpath -y, like this:
$ rtmpdump -r rtmp://video4.earthcam.com/archives/MP4:abbeyroad_archives/2016/03/26/1700.mp4 -y MP4:abbeyroad_archives/2016/03/26/1700.mp4 -o ~/2016-03-26_1700.mp4
Explanation
Regarding the error NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, "NhJm" at mplayerhq.hu wrote:
rtmpdump wasn't able to figure out the app/playpath on its own, so you need
to tell it what they are:
- "NhJm"'s full solution used both specifying app, playpath.
- However, for your needs, it seems to work simply by specifying playpath:
-y MP4:abbeyroad_archives/2016/03/26/1700.mp4
man rtmp:
--playpath -y path
Overrides the playpath parsed from the RTMP URL. Sometimes the rtmpdump URL parser cannot determine the correct playpath automatically, so it must be given explicitly using this option.
Additional options:
-o ~/2016-03-26_1700.mp4 to save to ~/2016-03-26_1700.mp4, you can customize this output path to your liking
For my test, I merely tested if it could start and then canceled shortly after via Ctrl+c:
...

Download may be incomplete (downloaded about 0.70%), try resuming
Resulting file from my test, although only about 0.7%, has about 30s playable video when tested with mplayer2. So if you don't cancel or if you canceled, you could resume via the -e option, you can get the full video.
So now you can successfully observe Beatles Abbey Road imitators via rtmp.
