Error:
Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support 
adding,

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash 
available
check that the URL really works(!).

Check for updates by running: ./get_flash_videos-1.17 --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or
contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/
make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
get_flash_videos-1.17 on Ubuntu 9.04

Please provide any additional information below.
The flash player on the website has debugging information enabled, right-
click and click open debug window. The RTMP stream information is detailed 
here. (http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/BrightcoveDebugger.html?
&pubId=27378988001&buildNumber=us1.22.00.02)

support for http authentication would be useful

The site http://video.aol.com is not supported.

The site http://www.truveo.com/ is not supported.

If I download say, fifteen youtube videos at the same time using 15 
iterations of the script simultaneously, sometimes some of the downloads 
won't complete. So i run the script again when this happens, and it says 
that it doesn't think youtube explicitly allows resume function, do i want 
to try to resume (y/n)? However, anything I type into the terminal when 
prompted for a y or n will cause the program to stop after saying 
y: command not found.

To reproduce, download a video, cancel download halfway through, then try 
to download again. 

On an unrelated note, if there's an irc channel or mailing list I don't 
know about where people can discuss ways to use the app, like in scripts to 
download whole youtube channels, download video urls from reddit rss feeds 
or ways to incorporate it into greasemonkey scripts, I would love to know 
what it is. This is such a powerful program but I often feel like I'm not 
taking advantage of its full capabilities because I'm not a programmer.

Currently HTTP redirects need to be explicitly allowed, we should instead
allow them unless there is a reason to disable them (i.e. we want to see
the redirects).

The app doesn't work with videos played through the mtv website. Here's

Thanks again, great product!

The site wat.tv is unsupported (version 1.7).

The site megavideo.com is unsupported (version 1.7).

Various issues with Veoh support:

* Some videos use Brightcove => extract IDs
* Some videos use their own streaming
* Also depends on the hash fragment of the URI (e.g. #watch=xxx)

At first I thought it would be tough because their movie selection is a Flash 
interface.

But then a nice helpful article direct linked to a few movies:
blogs.amctv.com/future-of-classic/2009/03/b-movies-online.php

For example, for Herc Unch., they give:
link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid13332913001/bclid14056327001/bctid1409558
7001

Which redirects to:
www.amctv.com/videos/b-movies/?
bcpid=13332913001&bclid=14056327001&bctid=14095587001

When I pass in the second URL to get_flash_videos, rtmpdump doesn't seem to 
know how to 
handle the input. So I wrote an echo bash script (echo "$0 $@" > output.txt), 
renamed it to 
rtmpdump, and here's a capture of the output:

rtmpdump -- flv --app a500/d7 --tcUrl rtmp://brightcove.fcod.llnwd.net/a500/d7 
--swfUrl 
http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/federated/f_012.swf?bn=590&pubId=196217268 
--auth 
rtmp --rtmp://brightcove.fcod.llnwd.net/a500/d7 playpath --flv AMC_-
_Hercules_Unchained.flv --196217268_14052961001_HerculesUnchained-S.flv

.. as you can see, the arguments appear to be a little garbled. "-- flv" (with 
a space in it) and "--
auth rtmp --rtmp://..." which should probably be "--auth <somestring> --rtmp 
rtmp://...", 
etc.

Soooooo close :) (You guys rock, by the way!)

For example:
http://www.sho.com/site/video/brightcove/series/title.do?bcpid=1305032372

Seems to just be hidden behind some JavaScript, actual URL of the SWF is
http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?&width=640&height=406&flash
ID=myExperience&bgcolor=%23000000&playerID=14034155001&publisherID=63128&isVid=t
rue&isUI=true&videoID=24295202001&wmode=transparent
for the above URL.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.try to download http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF8nBnersGo

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should try to download the video, but instead I get 'Error: Couldn't
extract video ID at ./get_flash_videos-1.15 line 2942'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.15 on Ubuntu Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I've included a few lines of replacement code ... not exactly a patch but
I've spent way too much time already today to download a LOLcat video ...

I am Japanese. I am not good at English, these sentences translate the
machine. 
Example (nicovideo)
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm7382869

This animation cannot be downloaded. 
When the swf file is downloaded, it is likely to become an error. 
Swf is becoming a main current in nicovideo, too. It is happy when
corresponding. 
----------------------------------
The file name where Japanese was included when downloading it is garbled. 
It remodeled it. 
It is diff. 

As for this tool, I very wonderful love this tool. 
This tool must become more wonderful. 

Youtube changed the in-page configuration syntax of their player again today.

Was: CFG_VIDEO_ID: '5tuff'
Is : 'VIDEO_ID': '5tuff'

This should be a one-line change to where you changed before--at least, the
one-line change worked for me.

(Youtube devs must be really bored today or something ...)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output = it works
Instead = could not find video id or player id

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.13

Please provide any additional information below.

Quick Fix I used:
Replace line 620 with:
  $player_id = ($browser->content =~ /playerId["'\] ]*[:=]["' ]*(\d+)/i)[0];
and add:
  $video_id ||= ($browser->content =~ /_clipID:["' ]*(\d+)/i)[0];

Small patch for two issues I discovered while using the youku module more often.

1.  The unescaping of the unicode title for the filename doesn't handle mixed 
unicode sequences 
and regular ASCII characters well.
2.  The location returned doesn't always have a file extension on it and would 
result in a 404 if we 
used it as is.

draugiem.lv is a local site that also hosts music files. while not videos, 
it would be nice if get-flash-videos could support the player.

get-flash-videos tries multiple generic urls, but in the end fails. as a 
single page player can contain multiple tracks, ideally a prompt could 
offer to download a single track or all tracks.

example url : http://munidraugi.lv/Resnieputni

I attempted to download episode one of The Prisoner from the amctv website

obtained from CPAN and installed.  Now it failed again with the following

This is obviously a Brightcove video.

From just skimming the errors I wonder if it's parsing the GET string
correctly.  It reports a "playerId" but no "video_id".

As a side note, Data::AMF::Packet doesn't seem to have a Ubuntu .deb
package, nor is it a dependency of the .deb I installed from here.  I
installed a copy through CPAN, but most folks won't know how to do that.

Version: 1.17-1
Depends: perl, libwww-mechanize-perl

Here's the kind of output I'm getting-

As far as I know you can reproduce the error using any Xvideos url. 

Support for Yahoo Video. Seems to require a 'requeststream' RTMP call,
which rtmpdump doesn't support. Will probably need to patch rtmpdump to
support it.

Here's a contribution to support tudou and heidou (hd.toudou.com).  One caveat 
with tudou is that 
they use a CDN to serve their videos and I have noticed that some servers will 
return a 403 for no 
reason.  I've tried to work around this by randomising the server selection.

May I take this opportunity to give a bit more feedback on the download 
progress screen?  I've 
noticed after displaying downloading http://server/video.flv it won't actually 
display the progress 
until 1% is reached.  When I was testing with videos on heidou, 1% percent 
often came to be 2 to 3 
megs and for a while I was wondering why the script was doing nothing while the 
script waited until 
1% was grabbed before displaying the progress bar.  Displaying average speed 
and time taken at 
the end wouldn't hurt either.

The 'Saved ...' and 'Done: downloaded 1 videos.' output should be done by
the main program so the output can be cleaner.

I am working on a creating a module to download from youku, where virtually all 
video names 
are in Unicode.

The download progress screen (where it says xx% downloaded) does not support 
Unicode output, 
instead of erasing the current line and writing the new percentage, I get a new 
line for each 
percentage.

Error: Unexpected data from AMF gateway at /usr/bin/get_flash_videos line 7817.

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Using latest version 1.17 combined on Mac OS X 10.6.1 / Perl 5.10.1 / And all 
modules up to 
dates !


Please provide any additional information below.

Tried updating all modules, perl.. etc. But didn't do the trick !

A solution would be much appreciated ! Thanks.

Currently find_video has rather different semantics between RTMP and HTTP
downloads. This should be changed so they aren't different.

This could also enable additional features like returning metadata.

Video clips from this site can be downloaded with rtmpdump (see examples in
attached text file), and it would great if you could add support for it.
Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to download an age-protected video, or one that has been removed.
2. Put in username and password.
3. Watch the explosion!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* In the case of a removed video, it mistakes the removal for age
  verification and asks for name and password uselessly.
* In either case, fails to find the login form it is looking for or the 
  username or password fields, and dies.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.16, Ubuntu Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I managed to trace through all the nastiness and get some code that seems
to work, it's a fairly large patch and maybe a little rough, but you should
be able to work with it I hope...

I know you're like, "why is he following all these redirections after the
form submit?  He's just going to jump back to the video page anyway!" but
the first one seems to set extra cookies and I don't even know WHAT the
second one is doing but before I was following it I was just getting the
'please sign in' page on the final retrieval...I honestly don't love web
scraping THAT much to be doing the extra work!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Go to page http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00jd68z
2.In terminal run get-flash-videos
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I had hoped to download the trail for "A Night at the Office"
I got the attached file as an error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using version get-flash-videos_1.14-1_all.deb
I'm using operating system Ubuntu 9.04

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm very new to Linux, so may well have made a mess of things. If so, I'm
sorry. Could someone give me a step by step guide?

If I can get this to work, I would like to download the other extra bits
from "The Office"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Try to open any brightcove video from lifetime. 
e.g.
http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway/full-episodes/video/full-ep
isode-10-around-the-world-in-two-days

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should save the video.  instead I get
http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway/full-episodes/video/full-ep
isode-10-around-the-world-in-two-days

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
17. Vista x64 with ActivePerl.

It was announced today that Apple detects the user-agent and won't play 
videos for linux users. I don't know if that's why it isn't working, but it 
can't help.
