CoolBeans is a command line utility that can download .NSV (Nullsoft video) and .NSA (NullSoft Audio) from Ultravox UNSV:// servers.

CoolBeans usage:
CoolBeans <url> <option>

The url must start with http:// and end with .nsv

Examples of a Ultravox .NSV video URLs
http://nsv.stream.aol.com/uvox?cachefile=/aol/us/aolmusic/aolmusiclive/2004/evanescence/evanescence_everybodysfool_amlive_04_700.nsv

unsv://nsv.stream.aol.com/uvox?cachefile=/aol/us/aolmusic/aolmusiclive/2004/evanescence/evanescence_everybodysfool_amlive_04_700.nsv

Both stream will play in Winamp. You may also use any download manager to record the http protocol file, buy it won't play correctly.
The file can be downloaded with the http protocol URL, but it will not play correctly.

To download the http protocol file that will play correctly use CoolBeans.
If you have a unsv URL, you may safely change unsv:// onto http://

How to use Coolbeans:
1. Download CoolBeans from http://rapidshare.de/files/7700275/CoolBeans_1.0d.zip.html or http://stream-recorder.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2&d=1133363788
2. Unzip CoolBeans_1.0d.zip into c:/streams
3. Click "Start" button.
4. Click "Run...".
5. In the "Open:" field enter the following:
c:/streams/coolbeans http://nsv.stream.aol.com/uvox?cachefile=/aol/us/aolmusic/aolmusiclive/2004/evanescence/evanescence_everybodysfool_amlive_04_700.nsv
6. Click "OK"
7. The file named evanescence_everybodysfool_amlive_04_700.nsv will be downloaded to c:/streams. You shouldn't have any problem playing the downloaded file with Winamp.

p.s. You may also use the other NSV/NSA stream recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NSA-NSV-stream-rippers-Record-streaming-Nullsoft-Video-Winamp-TV-Audio-HTTP-UNSV-protocols.htm) like NSV Recorder, RadioRipper to record streaming audio and video from Winamp.

NSV Loader v0.1 - A Batch Downloading Frontend for CoolBeans NSV downloader

You only have to add a bunch of URL`s to a textfile and then doubleklick on a Icon. It will automaticly download all the NSV Files in the list.

(Documentation inside)

In the next version Tscherno promised to try to add an encoder
that can convert NSV to MPEG or AVI.

NSV Loader was made by Tscherno I wrote this for his own use, so it's not very comfortable.

Have fun:

To find the URL of AOL's .NSV stream use
URL Snooper or Packet Sniffer software (http://all-streaming-media.com/packet-sniffer/searching-for-a-stream-URL-with-packet-sniffers-and-URL-snoopers.htm) like free Project URL Snooper.

[Stream Recorder]

1. Play the video in AOL Media Player (it will pop up when you click on the video)
2. Right click near the video playing and select 'View source'.
3. The notepad window that will appear should say 'video.index'. If it doesn't, repeat step 2.
4. Hit CTRL+F (to open Find window) then type "fugu" into the box.
5. Keep on hitting the "Find next" button until you get to the last 'fugu'.
6. This is the hard part so follow these instructions exactly
For example I will take this bit of code:

FUGU.PlayVideoLarge("/aol/us/aolmusic/specials/2005/live8/london/london_018_stereophonics_superman;bitrates:700,460 ,320,120,28"

Copy the highlighted bit (it starts with "/aol" and ends with the semi-colon) to the clipboard?
7. Add "_700.wmv" without the quotes to the end of the code you copied (or try with other bitrates: "_460.wmv", "_320.wmv", "_120.wmv", "_28.wmv").
8. Finally, copy all of the code you have left, so it looks like this:
/aol/us/aolmusic/specials/2005/live8/london/london_018_stereophonics_superman_700.wmv
9.Then just before the "/aol" part, add this little address:

mms://demand.stream.aol.com
or
mms://wms/stream.aol.com

so you end up with:

mms://demand.stream.aol.com/aol/us/aolmusic/specials/2005/live8/london/london_018_stereophonics_superman_700.wmv

hi..
I found a page where i can see great movies and Anime. The link is on the attachment...

First of all, try to find a stream URL:
1. Play you stream
2. Use URL Snooper or packet sniffer software (http://all-streaming-media.com/packet-sniffer/searching-for-a-stream-URL-with-packet-sniffers-and-URL-snoopers.htm) like free Project URL Snooper.

Then try to record again.

[Initial_C]

Thanks a lot :)

Sorry to bother again, but the downloading trick is not working now, isn't it?
All I get is a short clip saying "the video you requested is on aolvideo.com". Anybody the same?

They seem to have switched to Windows Media streams with DRM protection completely. I could be wrong so if you know more, please inform us.

p.s. And Winamp videos are in Windows Media format either. Nullsoft Video is dying???

[Stream Recorder]

Oops AOL seems to use lots of Flash video that can easily be recorded. To what format will they eventually stick to?

[iblue]

What ever they're changing to, it's not easy to record videos any more. Haven't seen .nsv anywhere either.

[Stream Recorder]

It is very easy to record flash HTTP streams (http://all-streaming-media.com/faq/recording-media-stream/faq-record-download-capture-save-flash-flv-video-http.htm) with WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm)

[Stream Recorder]

It appears that AOL have flash videos, windows media streams without and with DRM protection, quick time video streams. Apparently some of them are hard to record.

GAMV is a freeware application that allows you to search and download audio and video files from AOL servers. You may download it from the following URL
http://fernyb.net/content/downloads/GAMV.exe.zip

[afiction]

I cannot download any music video from AOL. I can do it with every other site though.

Someone know how to rip this? I'd appreciate it.

It plays on Winamp and WMP fine. weird

[Stream Recorder]

I can't record it 'coz the URL provided has a session ID that will be different for me. But 'coz you can play it in the WMP, you should be able to record it with WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) in the Real Time recording mode (ADA or PRO)

[iblue]

Thanks a lot for the GAMV.exe program. Great app! But y'know what, WM Recorder 11 is not working with the music videos now (works perfect for the commercials before the videos though) for me. Turns out the video is now buffered on the local hard disk in a .dat format. Can't seem to open it anyway I know (which is way too few).

[Stream Recorder]

WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) rules! It works when other software doesn't!!!
Many web sites are now changing their stream URLs right after the media player makes the connection to the stream. In this case the captured URL has no use.

With WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) you can record AOL videos using the PRO mode. In this case the recorder uses the media player connection and data and does not make its own connection to the URL.
