Last few days I've been messing about with Morph again and decided to see if i could mess about with getting embedded flv videos to play in Mplayer through OWB.

So not even sure if its possible?

i've setup a contextual menu pointing to mplayer and works, but the problem I'm having is it wont find the right link to the file

link to file:
http://wesite/site/video/file.flv

and link I get:
http://website/site/showthread.php (page file is embedded into)

I've tryed all the %i %u but can't get the correct path, I'm prob miles off. but is there some kind of command like for right clicking and saving images i could use?

%l (l as in link)
So for instance blah:mplayer/mplayer -gui 1 %l

Thank you FAB, didnt quite work tho. using the above command MPlayer pops up and i get :

If just using the %l i get:

I forgot to mention which is prob a important bit, but i'm not given a weblink, just the embedded flash video (black screen with the play button)

Aeh, if you pass a flash script to MPlayer, it certainly won't be able to do anything with it. It needs a direct link to the flv file, which MPlayer can stream from.

Thought that might be the case, so its going to need a arexx script or something like flashless?

Depends what it is. If getvideo is able to extract this kind of url, go for it, else it's on a per-case basis, and it's not always trivial to extract the direct link.

(does swfdec work on this flash content ? If so, you would at least see the url in network activity manager or swfdec resource manager window).

yeah swfdec works fine. Just with me getting back into playing with morphos and owb and trying to get it as a everyday system, i'm trying to figure out what I can do and can't.

I have been looking at arexx and tho I know nothing about it, I did find afew amiga arexx guides. so thought I might have a looky at it and see if i can pick anything up.

i did download getvideo last night to see if it could. but with having very little luck with flashless, i gave up for the night before trying getvideo. So i try that when i get home and then sit and read some guides.

thank you for your time fab :)

Sorted my issue out with this website that has the videos I just needed to use the <video> tag and make sure videos where in webm format.
