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_20061102_100.asx > 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.
