I couldn't find the flv videos on music.yahoo because I was using greasemonkey and pklaunch. I ran the stuff in windows and found the data packet with the info but it doesn't do any good. Here's the data packet I found: I put "blah, blah" in the query string so I wouldn't have string. I combined the server, path, and query strings together like I did on video.yahoo and it didn't work. I queried with http, rtmp, and tried port 1935 since that's the only port that was talking from that server. Nothing worked, the closest I got was rtmp://server/path?=QueryString which does not give me an immediate "not found" error. I guess that's all for me tonight, I'll try with VLC and port 1935 sometime tomorrow. Never mind, it doesn’t work.

I went to video.yahoo.com and figured out how to download those .flv files. I ran wireshark while clicking on the first video link and found these this information in a data packet: GET /st1701r02/012/videosearch/32883678.flv?StreamID=32883678&ht=30&pl_auth=29687549666f3c63938abd893890949c&pg=MTIwNzcxNDE2NDViYzRlZD&sl=217&so=%252Fvideosearch%252Fvideosearch%252Fyvs391c957c2707f9dbf5a75ab5fdde45a56&b=8b2kvo52roass45bc4ed2&s=0 HTTP/1.1 Host: s1sdlod001.bcst.s1s.yahoo.com If you notice, that's the same host the file your were trying to get is on.

Plus, do you think Yahoo will stop using the wmv and only use flv files soon. T Just wanted to ask if you had a rough estimate on the size of these flv files.
