How to reveal hidden file extensions in Windows XP:

• Open Windows explorer by selecting it from the Start menu, or by double clicking on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop or in the Start menu
• Once you have your Windows Explorer (don't confuse Windows Explorer with Internet Explorer) select Tools, and then Folder options from the menu at the top.
• From the Windows Folder Options window, click the View tab
• UNcheck the box that says "Hide extensions for known file types"
• Click OK

Please ignore that last post. I figured out how to rename the file to a .flv file but it doesn't appear on the Orbit Downloader list and it won't open with FLV Player. Any ideas?

I tried one RTMP stream and it worked for me, but obviously I can't guarantee that everything will be OK in 100% of cases.

Try to use other FLV players

Ok I downloaded K-Lite Codec Pack and was able to play one live download in Media Player Classic even without changing the extension from ob! to flv . I still can't play my first live download but I am happy I can play some. Thanks very much for all the help man. You're a great guy!
