love to take a look, however HULU seems to be unvailable outside USA.

Can someone provide a decent proxy? the free versions out there are no good for streaming video.

Or can someone take a look to see how the streaming is done. It is flv or rtmp?

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

ah right, so it's rtmp. maybe someone with a little free time can join me in building a little c/c++ rtmp client?

afaik rtmp is not public but some reverse ingineering has been done in pyrtmp and xmbc.

it would be a nice thing to hack ...

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

I'm not a programmer but I will setup the the proxy server if for it if it will help. Also I would help with testing.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

Thanks Andrew, but since hulu is using rtmp, there is need for an implementation for this protocol.
Which i can do directly using the southparkstudios page :).

Until this is complete (help, help, i'm very low on free time), the proxy setup can be postponed

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

mplayer cannot play RTMP streams yet as it seems. I made some dumps with wireshark, and with tools, but mplayer wasn't able to play them.
At least the wireshark dump was recognized as video, so mplayer opened a video window, but the content appeared to be encrypted as it was just flashing colored blocks.

Hopefully, not all RTMP are encrypted, though. But I dread the day YouTube will switch to RTMP (and I'm pretty sure they'll do eventually with pressure from the content industry).

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

AFAIK rtmp has both video and sound streams, which after download (or at download time) have to be processed and some sort of flv is obtained ... XMBC and rtmpy are the best source i've found to analyze.

I also think that youtube will switch to rtmp :(.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

The rtmpdump that I posted earlier should suffice as as the 'flv getter' utility. Unfortunately, HULU has changed some things on their end and has broken the 'get_hulu' script that accompanys the utility.

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

not quite working, i'm betting some client identification and restrictions. anyone wanting to help with a wireshark/hex parsing here :D ?

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

Maybe this is something really obvious, but where do I enter a full URL to have it play in mYTube, with all the caching and saving goodness?

Re: Youtube browser - mYTube - released

You don't. Just open up mYTube, use the search tool to find videos on YouTube and then you can watch them or download for later.

If you just watch a video, it will cache it and you can either save it or delete it off your device/MMC to save space or you can just download it and then watch it later.

It's pretty straight forward. Too bad you can't download the HQ videos. You always get the SD quality ones.
