Ustream Videos

[angelsguitar]

Hi. I just installed FlashGot. Very nice extension; keep up the good work!

Just wanted to comment that I have some trouble downloading videos from Ustream.tv. The FlashGot media option detects it, but the video can't be seen after downloaded to the computer (it just plays one or two seconds of black image).

I've used a Windows program called URL Snooper succesfully to download Ustream videos. What I realized is that Ustream likes to "hide" the video stream in a ghttp protocol; videos are usually streamed from an address starting with ghttp:// . Basically, what I do is take out the "g" and leave the address with http: to download the videos. Maybe by adding some support to FlashGot for the ghttp protocol (if it doesn't has it already) may help the process of grabbing the stream.

Just a suggestion, I don't know if you were aware of this, and I'm no expert in the matter, but maybe this information may help in the development of the program.

Looks to be using RTMP (which FlashGot does not see).
