Re: Retrieving flash url from browser control hosted IShockwaveFlash
Hi Igor,
That doesn't seem to give me the correct URL. For example, on a lot
of YouTube videos, that just returns:
"/swf/watch.swf"
which I think is the swf wrapper around the real content. Any way I
can get the real content to play? Some of these websites seem able to
do it.

Yes, YouTube seems to play a trick using a wrapper video which, as far
as I can tell, pulls the ID of the actual video from JavaScript
variables on the page. That's how they merge in the last frame (one with
Replay and Share buttons), which is part of the wrapper.
Of course, if you care specifically about YouTube, the actual video is
available at http://www.youtube.com/v/<video_id>&hl=en where video_id
can be extracted from, say, the page URL.

Yeah, the thing is I'm not specific about YouTube :( I'd like to
find a generalized method to obtain the source video. What about
creating a Async Pluggable Protocol handler for FLV, and saving the
content out to a file?
