I am watching a Flash stream. I can watch the same stream in two different players (set up by someone else), but I don’t like any of them.
Is there a way I can find/get/extract the direct link to the flash stream that those two players are playing? So that I can watch it using a different player?
Edit: The player is streaming an RTMP stream, not an FLV video file.
Answer
Download and decompile the flash file. The source of the stream should be pretty easy to find.
It’s possible that the player is generic, and the file/stream it is playing is being passed in as a param. Grep the webpage source code for “embed”/”swf” or text that’s near the flash object on the page. Then look at the contents of “param name”/”param value”
