For some reason Fashgot does not detect videos on this website anymore
http://v.yntv.cn/live_yntv2_2013.shtml
Can you make it work on that website again?

Was able to find a link, but not with FlashGot.
Used
URL Snooper (won't help you on Linux) & it found something like:
http://edge2.yntv.cn/channels/yn/yntv_2 ... 9344000000
(I changed the start time to 15:00.)
And that I can download, VERY SLOWLY, & I can play it.
(
MPC-BE worked better in that respect then MPlayer or Media Player Classic.)
What I ended up with must have been some elementary type (FLV) stream, so I just "copied" it over to an mp4. Doing so, it then played fine in MPlayer, & also displayed correct time.
Particular clip I got was 32 MB & 8:53.
(Might not understand the language, but I do know he doesn't like her singing
.)
I'd think it not likely that FlashGot would come up with the link.

Thank you,
therube.
http://edge2.yntv.cn/channels/yn/yntv_2 ... 9344000000 is the link of the live stream. Actually,
flashgot used to work with that website until a few weeks ago. I was able to download the live stream until then.
I think it should be possible to make it
work again.

The reason why FlashGot is not detecting it anymore is because that resource doesn't provide any hint (beside the "flv" substring in the URL, which is not even places as the file extension) that it is a video stream.
There's not even any "Content-type" HTTP header:
Code: Select all
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache
Expires: -1
Pragma: no-cache
The best I could do would be adding either more speculative guessing (no headers + file extension as an arbitrary substring = let's tentatively assume it's a video) or custom handling for this very site.
