Getting URLs of AOL's .WMV streams (Windows Media)


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
