I'm trying to use net/asfrecorder to capture a stream, and am having some difficulties. My adventure started here: http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/guster/artist.jhtml My goal is the "Careful" video. If you click on it, you get a popup box that would normally play the video via a plug-in. The box uses Javascript to disable the right-click context menus, so I had to turn that off to get the ASX URL from the page source: http://www.vh1.com/sitewide/mediaplayer/asxmaker.asx?clipids=1614624&s1=az&s2=guster&adPth=/asm/adsetup/artists/az/&x=x.asx If you look at that ASX file, you find what should be the main ASF file between two promo clips: mms://a1979.v0534a.c534.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1979/534/v001/mtvnshrdstor.download.akamai.com/8646/_!/mtvi/bands/g/guster/careful_full_320.asf?auth=caCbUdBckcqcYcKawb6dhdqaBdMa9aib0aw-bata2r-dHa-BFLynE&aifp=ver_03"></ref> ASFrecorder would choke on that though with "unknown content-type" because it was handing out the vnd.ms.wms-hdr.asfv1 MIME type. So I patched asfrecorder.c to add that MIME type to the list of "prerecorded content" MIME types. asfrecorder got a bit further, then complained again about application/x-mms-framed so I added that to the list too. The relevant part of the source now looked like: /* Determine whether this is live content or not */ if ((!stricmp(ContentType, "application/octet-stream")) || (!stricmp(ContentType, "application/vnd.ms.wms-hdr.asfv1")) || (!stricmp(ContentType, "application/x-mms-framed")) ) { if (strstr(Features, "broadcast")) { hi->contenttype = live_content; } else { hi->contenttype = prerecorded_content; } } At that point I could save the stream and got a 28MB file. However mplayer doesn't detect the video stream: ASF file format detected. ============ ASF Stream group == START === object size = 74 stream count=[0x8][8] stream id=[0x1][1] max bitrate=[0xcdb7][52663] stream id=[0x2][2] max bitrate=[0xd2b8][53944] stream id=[0x3][3] max bitrate=[0xcf25][53029] stream id=[0x4][4] max bitrate=[0x1ba16][113174] stream id=[0x5][5] max bitrate=[0xcf25][53029] stream id=[0x6][6] max bitrate=[0x400d0][262352] stream id=[0x7][7] max bitrate=[0xcf25][53029] stream id=[0x8][8] max bitrate=[0x6ff75][458613] ============ ASF Stream group == END === ASF: No video stream found. The audio plays fine. I feel I've gotten so close... what step(s) have I missed? Thanks
