URLSnooper tutorial

To get a live internet video stream to play in Navi-X you will need a couple of things. *Firstly you will need software to find the rtmp info from a live stream. *I prefer [url=http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/]UrlSnooper[/url].* Now you will need a video stream here I will use [url=http://www.ilive.to/view/30870/]A&E[/url]. *Now to use UrlSnooper you will need to run the program and type rtmp wher is says *also search for like below:

**

Now Click Sniff Network , and now open A&E. *The info you will need is "TCUrl" (IP Adress of server running stream), the "Playpath" (the given title of the playing stream) , the "SwfUrl" (the http address of the video player) and the "PageUrl" (obviously the http address to the page the stream is playing from in your browser). *

TCUrl:

After the stream starts to play you can see in the picture below "tcUrl" appears forth down in the list click on it and below you will see "rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge" If you notice the same series of numbers appears to the right under "Source IP". *Hightlight rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge press ctrl+c and paste into your playlist editor or notepad program temperarily.*

*

Playpath:

Now you will see "HStarted Playing..." in row 6 your click on it and you will see like in the picture below "rtmp://fms.ilive.to:1935/live/_definst_/8zqdbyxk0ybf7es" *Your playpath is the last group of characters after the "/"*

Now you will take the "rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge" that you found before and add you playpath to the end so it will look like this:

 "rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge/8zqdbyxk0ybf7es"

or like this:

"rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge/ playpath=8zqdbyxk0ybf7es"

*Now its time to get the "swfUrl" look back at the image above, it is the first item that came up when i began Sniffing it looks like this "http://cdn.static.ilive.to/jwplayer/player.swf" now you can add this to your line of code. *Also add "live=true" to your code, It should now look like this:

"rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge/ playpath=8zqdbyxk0ybf7es swfUrl=http://cdn.static.ilive.to/jwplayer/player.swf live=true"*

*And now the final part is the "pageUrl" usually you can just copy the [url]http://whatever.com/[/url] from the browser the video is playing in, other times you need the address video sharing site that the stream is coming from. *if you check the very first image it has this:

"p.ageUrl... http://www.ilive.to/view/30870/"*

there you have your final peice of info you will need for your code. * Add this in like so:

"rtmp://176.31.231.124/edge/ playpath=8zqdbyxk0ybf7es swfUrl=http://cdn.static.ilive.to/jwplayer/player.swf live=true pageUrl=http://www.ilive.to/view/30870/"*
