Record .NSV (Nullsoft video) and .NSA (NullSoft Audio) from Ultravox UNSV:// servers

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/C..._1.0d.zip.html or http://stream-recorder.com/forum/att...2&d=1133363788
2. Unzip CoolBeans_1.0d.zip into c:/streams
3. Click "Start" button.

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.

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 like free Project URL Snooper.

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

First of all, try to find a stream URL:
1. Play you stream
2. Use URL Snooper or packet sniffer software like free Project URL Snooper.

Then try to record again.
