Hello,

I'm trying to find the hidden video file on a flash site for a new extractor:
https://github.com/peugeot/youtube-dl/blob/hardsextube/youtube_dl/extractor/hardsextube.py

I can get the real video url from firefox network debugger, but I can't figure out how to form the url from the page data. It's almost there in plain text except for one char field containing 48 hexadecimal chars that is randomly stripped to 32 to form the real url.

Has anyone already seen that ?
How can I see what's happening ?

It seems the URL is decoded by the Flash player itself. However, I am not sure about the legality of flash decompilation and whether it would be OK to include the ported algorithm in youtube-dl. What do others think?

how in free country can a piece of code be illegal ? fix your laws.
in france for example your circumventing drms for the sake of interoperability is totally legal (hello vlc/libdvdcss :] ).
I suppose you live in the US where you've got software patents, laws on encryptions algorithms, etc,.. land of the free :] (we've got hadopi though :)
I'll look into decompiling.
