hulu.sh, download from Hulu

The problem I have with RtmpSrv is, it does not have a way to choose quality.

For example on Hulu they will have 1000 stream, 650 stream, and 400 stream. RtmpSrv will only capture the stream that is actually playing, no more.

This script allows you to choose from quality and CDN, before invoking RtmpDump.

It is written in Bash, and should only require rtmpdump.exe and a standard Cygwin installation. Please post if you have problems.

Support limelight CDN

the RTMP token, as found in the hulu SMIL file uses encoded ampersands, e.g.
"&". limelight CDN does not accept these, they need to be decoded first.

Numerous other fixes
- Search for "plugin-container.exe" instead of "plugin-container"
- Improve Bash SMIL parsing
- Call "/bin/kill" instead of "env kill"
- Use "<" instead of "cat"
- Use array instead of temporary XML file
- Update Hulu SWF

Remove call to sed

The sed call in xmlget() was only being used by "token".

Change it to bash string substitution.

Support Flash 11.3

Adobe has made a change to flash player.

blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox

With version 11.3, flash player now runs as 3 processes.

* plugin-container.exe
* FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257.exe
* FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257.exe (2nd instance)

The data for dumping is contained in one of the last two. This patch dumps all 3
process and search all 3. Patch should still work on older versions of flash.

Disable flash player protected mode for Firefox

According to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071

instead of dealing with the new protected mode, which involves 3 processes for
the flash player, you can simply disable it.

This means once again only plugin-container.exe will need to be dumped and not
these new processes. This will speed up the dumping process and parsing process.

Faster parsing of dump file

"cat -v" creates print-friendly output from binary file.

attrget() function rewrite, use string substitution instead of grep for better
speed.
