Media on Launch.com ?????

NMB2204 · 10th October 2002, 04:01

You know how all the media on that site and some others are played through an internal player? (example... http://launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos/...omo/faith1.xml)

Is there any way to get rid of all that crap on the side, and trace the direct link to a video through there to save it? How would I do that? Please help!!

Opening up the XML file, you get this:

code:


<!--//--><script>PrxModAtr=1;</script>

<!--//--><script> function NoError(){return(true);} onerror=NoError; </script>

<!--//--><script> function moveTo(){return true;}function resizeTo(){return true;}</script>

<!--//--><script> function status(txt){return(1);} </script>

<html>

<head>

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">

<script language="Javascript" src="http://a1568.g.akamai.net/7/1568/1600/20020517170849/launch.yahoo.com/common/js_includes/common_playvideos.js"></script></head>

<body><script language="JavaScript">

		

		playLAUNCHVideo('', '', '', 'promo/faith1.xml');

		

		window.top.location.replace('/musicvideos/');

		

	</script></body>

</html>

<!--//--><script>if(document.layers){document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);}document.onmouseup=PrxOMUp;</script>

The javascript file is this:

code:
function pv_isBlank(thisVal) {

	return (thisVal == null || thisVal == 'undefined' || thisVal == '');

}

			

function playVideos(videoID, playlistMode, playlistModifier, bandwidth) {

	playLAUNCHVideo(videoID, bandwidth);

}

			

function playMyVideos() {

	playLAUNCHVideo('', '', '', 'p/m.xml');

}

			

function playLAUNCHVideoShow(showPath, bWidth, vo) {

	playLAUNCHVideo('', bWidth, vo, showPath);

}

			

function playLAUNCHVideo(videoID, bandwidth, vo, showPath) {



	var windowName = (self.name == '') ? 'LaunchVideoTarget' : self.name;

	self.name = windowName;



	var params = "?videoID=" + videoID + "&targetWindow=" + windowName + '&referer=' + escape(new String(window.location));

	if ( !isNaN( parseInt(bandwidth) ) ) params += '&bandwidth=' + bandwidth;

	if ( !pv_isBlank(vo) ) params += '&vo=' + vo;

	if ( !pv_isBlank(showPath) ) params += '&show=' + escape(showPath);



	videoWin = window.open("http://" + window.location.hostname + "/musicvideos/player/playvideo.asp" + params, 'videoPlayerWindow', 'WIDTH=675,HEIGHT=425');	

}

Maybe someone can reconstruct a URL from there... I know I sure as Hell can't.
