problem using StreamBox VCR, ASFrecorder

i'm sure the answer lies somewhere in the documentation for the media player or the file format. personally, i don't care enough to search through all that for verification/authentication options, but i'm sure if someone spent enough time doing it, they'd figure out what's being done, and then be able to incorporate that into the source for asf recorder (since it is distributed with source usually). anyone up for the challenge? hmmmph, doubt it. after all, laziness is a virtue of a great programmer ::grin::

 

As of July 22, 11:00 PM MST if you use the link below:

http://www25.brinkster.com/nlamprecht/launch

and put in the launch video id that is obtain by moving your mouse over the video and then looking at the status bar (lower left browser window).

After you input the video link you will get back a mms:// stream. Copy that whole line to streambox and it will save BOTH the video and the audio.

 

i had a post asking for the source to that hack, but now i've used it, and same problem. only audio is ripped. i can put the url into the address bar and WMP will play video and audio, but streambox vcr will only rip audio (and asfrecorder, too). is this mms:// url ripping video for anyone?

 

I tried the hack and same thing...audio, no video.

 

What video? I just recorded the Weezer video with the muppets last night?

 

I am using Streambox_VCR ... ^^ as I described in my previous post ... and only receiving audio.

Perhaps I need to try whatever app you are using Sorbitol!! What exactly (version #, etc), are you successfully pulling down video streams at launch.com with?

Here is the URL to a video that has failed for me on multiple attempts:
mms://63.250.219.252/wm.broadcast.com/broot3/BusShare09/launch.com/5/2177466.asf#StreamID=2177466&b=736jstguesj2g3cfd40be&ru=MozillaOTHERS&s=396500072&xdata=670c9a143209425c8932818b55eccffb_164295

 

OMG thanks alot sorbitol, everything works great now; I can download the vids w. audio
oh and btw, I use hinet recorder
Thanks again for taking the time to help

Cheers!

 

Is that hinet easy to find, or is it one of those that i'll have to search for ages?

 

I tried a Launch video with HiNet Recorder using Sorbitol's hack and it worked beautifully.

I found HiNet recorder at:

http://www.bjunkyard.com/page_download/index.shtml

 

Thanx for the link. Does anyone have the source for that hack?

 

how do you find the yahoo video id, there is no status bar show when I move the mouse to the video

 

if you right-click on the link to the title of the video and select "copy shortcut" or your browser's equivalent, then you have the number, e.g.:
javascriptlayVideos(1085633)
where 1085633 is the number of the video.

 

hi, is there also a way to get the host from www.getmusic.com clips? thanx!

 

Hi,
I am having a problem clearing the history of downloads in Streambox VCR. The "clear" button doesn't work somehow. I appreciate any feedback.

 

--- For Launch Videos ---

I was getting only Audio also, here is what i did

Use the link that sorbitol has posted (THANKS)

Copy this link into Streambox

Under Protocol Dont use "Auto" Use MMS(HTTP) Protocol

I have tried this twice before i posted hope it works for you

I am using StreamBox VCR 1.0 Beta 3.1

 

@sorbitol

Hi all,
I've just the same problem as discussed with Yahoo Streams. I'd like to capture streams from german television ZDF. Streambox VCR works, but I only get sound, no picture.
If anyone could provide me a hack I'd be very happy.
Here's a link of an example stream: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFde/mediathek/1,1903,VI-2006518,00.html

Greetings from Germany,
Joe

 

Thanks alot for the info

 

Brotha,

I just did another to make sure i did it correctly and it worked

When you get the link, use the whole thing

the url to enter should look like this

mms://l5.dallas.broadcast.com/wm.broadcast.com/broot3/BusShare09/launch.com/12/2303477.asf#StreamID=2303477&b=736jstguesj2g3cfd40be&ru=MozillaOTHERS&s=396500072&xdata=3a270cf239a64208999d0b584bb429e1_240265
