Hi guys,

First of all im not a flash programmer, i am doing a opensource JAVA program that download a video from a website when u paste the URL.
All it does for now is, it searchs the webpage´s link that we pasted before and finds the flash player object.
But i don´t understand how the flash variables work, could somebody explain to me?

(for the sake of mankind, i was using as an example a porn site, so if you are 18- years old or underaged in your country, do not try checking the website out without permission)

(AND IF UR NOT ALONE IN UR OFFICE OR BEDROOM OR WHATEVER DO NOT!!! DO NOT!!! DO NOT!!! DO NOT!!! OPEN ANY LINK THAT I LL POST!!!)

here is what my program find (found}:

I will simplify the code because there is a lot Thumb pictures's adresses.

<!-- PLAYER FLASH -->

	<!-- NEW VERSION -->

        <div id="player" style="font-size:18px; color:black; font-weight: bold; background-color: #000000;">
			
			<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="flash-player-embed" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.xvideos.com/swf/xv-player.swf" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="id_video=3176042&amp;theskin=default&amp;flv_url=http%3A%2F%2Fporn.im.bd3fc993.3176042.x.xvideos.com%2Fvideos%2Fflv%2Fc%2F9%2F6%2Fxvideos.com_c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34.flv%3Fe%3D1358453614%26ri%3D1024%26rs%3D85%26h%3Dae369543cad6387fa47a4a0328028f3d&amp;url_bigthumb=http://img100.xvideos.com/videos/thumbslll/c9/67/7f/c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34/c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34.1.jpg&amp;key=1d8df5da4df11de406bfb14d21e29ab6-1358442814&amp;height=480&amp;width=612" width="588" height="476">
		</div>
			
 <!-- END PLAYER FLASH -->

Before we continue, GO AWAY KID! just kidding,
so:

Just changing some characters we find ( %3A => ":", %2F => "/" ):

flv_url=http://porn.im.bd3fc993.3176042.x.xvideos.com/Fvideos/Fflv%/c%/9/6/xvideos.com_c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34.flv

but as always is not that easy, and i can´t find any FLV file in this address, but when i type ( in my web browser )
the SWF player + the vars even if i host the player myself like:

http://static.xvideos.com/swf/xv-player.swf?id_video=3176042&theskin=default&flv_url=http%3A%2F%2Fporn.im.bd3fc993.3176042.x.xvideos.com%2Fvideos%2Fflv%2Fc%2F9%2F6%2Fxvideos.com_c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34.flv%3Fe%3D1358453614%26ri%3D1024%26rs%3D85%26h%3Dae369543cad6387fa47a4a0328028f3d&url_bigthumb=http://img100.xvideos.com/videos/thumbslll/c9/67/7f/c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34/c9677f64837a4d6fdcaaef5a163d5d34.1.jpg&key=1d8df5da4df11de406bfb14d21e29ab6-1358442814&height=480&width=612"

it does run the flv perfectly,

What should i think about? what these variables means? how could they be interacting? any other ideas?

Thanks for now!

(Remenbering that these code will be free (opensource) but IT WILL NOT BE implemented FOR ANY SITE, i was using these one as an EXAMPLE ONLY )

Thank you!

So what exactly is the end game of this project? Storing flash files locally?

For me the end game is just the knoweledge, i use a program called VDOWNLOADER to download videos and store on my mp4 player ( after converting it tho ) and as a programmer i always try to build small programs similar to that ones that i use, just for fun.

I ll not release the program. I ll realease the code. (not that i think this program is a bad intentioned software, i just don´t think it has a new differential keeping in mind that there is a lot of programs and websites out there that does what this one will do).

Okay that confirms what I thought.

Look.. this app is used to pirate copyrighted material. I am going to wager most, if not all, of the sites this will be used against have strict rules about storing local copies of their flash videos. This is something we cannot support (regardless of open source or not, how many other people are doing it, or what your intent is).

As it is, I am going to close the topic and ask you do not persist in this line of questioning here. If you have questions or need clarification shoot me a pm.
