Hi, I have found the script that will suposedly let you watch music videos from
www.launch.yahoo.com , but I have no idea where I have to enter it to make it work. Do I put it in a text editor, and if so what extension do I give it. Please also check the script below 2 see if it will work:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Usage: launch.sh <videoid> (<bandwidth>) (<protocol>) <mplayer-options>"
echo " videoid = Lauch Video ID"
echo " bandwidth = 56,128,300 (default 300)"
echo " protocol = mms,http (default mms)"
echo " mplayer options can be passed via command line"
echo "Example:"
echo " MMS:"
echo " launch.sh 1112809 300 mms"
echo " HTTP:"
echo " launch.sh 1112809 300 http"
echo " HTTP with mplayer options:"
echo " launch.sh 1112809 300 http -verbose 0 -cache 500"
exit 0
fi
videoid=$1
shift
if [ $1 -eq $1 ] && [ $1 != 0 ]; then
bandwidth=$1
shift
else
# 56 or 128 or 300
bandwidth=300
fi
file1=$(wget "http://launchtoday.launch.yahoo.com/player/medialog.asp?vid=$videoid&cid=1&pid=4&csid=396500550&p1=&p2=&p3=2&bw=$bandwidth&mf=1&origin=35&pguid=AA388C059C7849D99CCFBC72B6F51E37&uid=42&sk=bad551cd352143eb2da02&z=ms.asx" -q -O -)
if [ $1 == "http" ]; then
file2=$(wget "$file1" -q -O - | sed 's/mms:/http:/g')
shift
else
file2=$(wget "$file1" -q -O -)
fi
mplayer -cache 500 $file2 $@
I am a complete newb as u hav probably guessed so dnt expect any scripting experience. Thanks in advance, Alan
