The streaming MS server used by the a lot of israel radio and TV internet broadcasts is using a proprietary protocol called MMS, and can be captured using mimms (short for MiMMS isn't an MMS Message Sender) which dumps the stream to a file as fast as it can get it without needing to actually play it (unlike mplayer -dump). In my experience, the same configuration (xine/mplayer + gstreamer) cannot be used to play Reshet streaming videos. Reshet's video machine is using a standard flash video service (which was quite surprise to me, as castup normally don't support technologies that can work outside the MS stack). I can't tell you how to find the FLVs url for them without playing it with a browser and Adobe Flash, but once you do that you can use firebug's network monitor to see the FLV urls, or use wireshark to scan the network traffic for them - for example the following tshark [1] based script will dump the URLs for the castup FLVs you are watching to the console, ripe for easy picking by wget or something :-) sudo tshark -V -R http.request | perl -nle 'm|GET (\S+.flv)| and $uri= $1; m|Host:\s+(\S+dl\.castup[^\\]+)| and print http://; . $1 . $uri;' [1] tshark or tethereal is the command line version of the GUI application. It does about the same and lets you use it in scripts. very handy. -- Oded
Re: Downloading flash video from reshet.tv
If you enter deep into the documentation you can see that vlc is capable first to save the stream to the hd and then playing it. VLC can play streams natively. just give it the link. The beauty is to save it. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/VideoLAN-HOWTO/x585.html http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/streaming-howto-en.html On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 6:45 PM, Cyril SCETBON [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: sara fink wrote: One more technology to use is VLC=videolan player VLC can save streams play flash as well.

Re: Downloading flash video from reshet.tv
Ira, The trick you're mentioning is by using the -dump feature in mplayer, which saves the stream. As much as I recall, the only way to play it back is only using mplayer.

Geoff. Anything you can play using mplayer can be dumped, including castup streams. It's just a matter of finding the correct URL for it. For galatz stream, just use: $ mplayer -dumpstream mms://stream.msn.co.il/glz-stream When your done the file is named stream.dump, and is the same format as the stream: $ file stream.dump stream.dump: Microsoft ASF They do seem to make life hard tracking streams sometimes (it seems like Keshet, Reshet and channel10 are in some kind of competition here, but Keshet wins bigtime).

Re: Downloading flash video from reshet.tv
Hi Geoff, It does play on firefox on Windows, if you have the Windows media plugin for firefox installed (http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx), but the buttons on many web pages are javascript crap which is not understood by Firefox. On my Thinkpad with Fedora, I simply use either kmplayer or xine to play (and capture) the video. Hetz On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 12:20 PM, Geoffrey S.

Re: Downloading flash video from reshet.tv
Hi, There's an extension called VideoDownloader for firefox. It should reveal the URL for the SWF/FLV file, and once you have it, you can use CURL or WGET to download the file (you may need to use some user-agent strings to fool the server though). thanks, Hetz On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 11:16 AM, Cyril SCETBON [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to download video (for example http://www.reshet.tv/video.aspx?video_id=15898) to see it later when my internet connection will be down.
