I visited http://www.babyfirsttv.com/ but I can't found the link of flash files in view source code. Any help? Where can I find "getvideo url" ? Best regards, Joao.

Is that a script to save flash streams to a file? I tried it on the Novell webcast and it doesn't work. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

What's the URL?

Let me see. The main page is http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/webcast.html. From there, there are two links: Flash: http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/flash_stream.html WMP: http://metahost.origindigital.com/microsoft/20061102/ms_announcement_2006110...

If the src is specified through a javascript function, the script won't be able to download it, since it doesn't include a javascript interpreter. :-)

If the video is in a popup and not the url you pass it, you need to use the popup url. You can right-click and show the location bar to get it.

Let me try again. The flash link (novell) opens a flash pop up, that says buffering 38% and doesn't ever reach 100%. It is overloaded. Right click shows me a "settings" a menu and "about macromedia flash 7". I can not see where it is downloading from, only "transferring files from files1.novell.com" at the bottom. The windows media player link works opening xine. This one shows in the tittle bar the real link, that I have to copy by hand. Or, I can try Realplayer, that doesn't work, but is saves a handy file in /tmp/ms_announcement_20061102_100.asx, which I can open with less and see the real mms:....wmv link. Lets try getvideo with that one: IOError: [Errno url error] unknown url type: 'mms' So... No go. Ideas? How do I get to know the real link for flash? [...] I have forced open the flash in a new firefox window, and in the menu I select s"how source". It is indeed javascript, and I see two links; I think it should be this one: http://files1.novell.com/cached/video/microsoft/mswebcast.flv I try "getvideo" with that one, seems to be working, the network usage goes up, but I don't see any file growing there. What am I missing? The Novell webcast is useless. This morning it run interrupted, unintelligible. This evening it doesn't even run. The one from MS runs fine even at high definition. One round to them. My idea was to try save it to a file, an so be able to listen it, with pauses. Impossible so far. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Then your network is better or nearer the source. Here I can't fill the buffer more that 40%, so it doesn't even start.

The file is at http://files1.novell.com/cached/video/microsoft/mswebcast.flv

The reason getvideo didn't save it is because it's loaded by javascript.

I had the following command running during two and a half hours, till I interrupted it: cer@nimrodel:~/tmp/getvideo> getvideo http://files1.novell.com/cached/video/microsoft/mswebcast.flv Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/cer/bin/getvideo", line 34, in ? page = urllib.urlopen(url).read() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 285, in read data = self._sock.recv(recv_size) KeyboardInterrupt cer@nimrodel:~/tmp/getvideo> and I got nothing. However, if I tell mozilla to save mswebcast.flv, it says it's going to download 135 MiB at 30 KiB/s, it works. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Ah. getvideo downloads objects parsed from html. I used it to save videos by handing it the url from my browser's location bar, which is faster than looking through ugly html and, in many cases, piecing the url together manually.

Handing it a url to the actual video will cause it to parse the file as html, which would result in a lot of grinding. :-)

If you already have the video url, wget is the appropriate utility.

Do it:

wget http://files1.novell.com/cached/video/microsoft/mswebcast.flv

The problem I have is playing it later. Video is ok, audio no:

Video Audio

Has: yes no Handled: yes yes Ignore: no no codec: Flash Video unavailable (ffmpeg)

Does it mean that the saved file has no audio? It's useless, then.

I mean, the extension doesn't change a thing.

without the renaming, it was not opened... Could you check which audio

codec is VLC using to play it?

mp3 :-), 22050Hz and FLV1 for video probably VLC codecs, no other video reader (kefeine, codeiona, noatune, avidemux...) can do the job, may be because of the initial bug I verified than even under windows xp, only VLC can read, probably because VLC go ahead the first buggy bytes jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

thats the video. it starts that way, means it is not a video that starts with the people on the conference but with the still image and someone telling the reporter the people ( mostly CEOs ) are there.

:-(

on windows XP, there was no problem to show the video ( but I have to say that I have a) the new Mediaplayer 11 installed and b) also the Flashplayer 9. on my openSUSE I've watched the video with the FlashPlayer 9 Beta ( version 9.0.21.55 ). I didn't try any other player or to watch the downloaded FLV-file directly. regards, JBScout --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

notice than the beginning of the file is buggy, one must wait nearly 1 minute to get the image right.
