Downloading Replays?

T)r6g0n · 05-12-2009, 12:36 AM

This may be a weird question, is there way to directly download a replay so that I may put it on a personal webpage for a project at school in Web Design? By viewing the source, i was able to come up with linking to the video by something like this example:
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...layid=47609663

but ffr is blocked at my school and I doubt that would work as a link to the video.

I would rather download the video and have it in my folder so that it can play directly from my folder.

This is going on my hobbies page, since FFR is one of the only games I ever play.

*I know there is a way to view the things running in your web browser, but I forgot how to do it. You could just press something and it would open up everything playing in the browser and you could just download something playing, like streaming music.

It's been discussed before, but there isn't. There really needs to be one though.

There is a way, however, to manipulate the HTML on the widgets, replace some of the URLs with replay IDs, and then embed the replay like a widget. I've done it before, but I don't remember how to anymore.

I'll have to tinker with the code to remember how to use it again, but I'll try to come up with something.

Try to make it quick asap if you try anything. It's due in 7 hours.

Edit: WOW I think I have it. I uploaded the SWF, and now I am able to right click it from my web page and save it due to the plugin from Realplayer. Now, I just need to put it in my file and re-upload as .flv! Sweet! Thanks for the uploading widget idea.

Edit2: But wait, if I download it as a video, you can't click it to view it as a replay as you normally would, since you would only view it and not be able to click anything on it. Let me see how it works out.

I want to say ieatyourlvllol posted the way to do it awhile back. I don't want to sift through his post history to find it though...

Ah, when I saved the video into realplayer it didnt work. I have it running on my webpage fine due to a nice SWF imbed, but i'm terrified of getting to school and it not working since ffr is completely blocked.

Edit: I used this method to grab the .swf off the replay. http://www.lancelhoff.com/how-to-dow...using-firefox/

But when I uploaded the downloaded .swf, it was just a widget to where you can play different songs, but it doesnt go to the replay, it goes to a list of songs to play instead. You click on a song and it gets stuck at 0% on a load screen.

Yes, that will happen because the replays use a php query to embed each replay into the widget engine. It is impossible to download a replay without knowing exactly where they are stored. It is, however, possible to obtain them in other ways, and possibly make them into an swf.

Hmmm. I cannot find any other way to do this. I tried recording a vid with hypercam but it is too rediculous on how many frames per seconds it captures. It looks like the arrows spawn at the bottom then disappear at the top with no movement inbetween.

You could always just use an iframe.
Example: http://jupiterfordarfur.com/derailed...eplaytest.html

T)r6g0n · 05-12-2009, 02:07 AM

Whoa. How did you do that?

**Sprite-** · 05-12-2009, 02:09 AM

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/ffrReplay.swf?replayid=47625073" width="435" height="316"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Basically, an iframe is a page that is embedded onto another page...but you can also use it with swfs. The content is not shown from your site, but from another. You could say it makes your web page into a browser to show another web page.

T)r6g0n · 05-12-2009, 02:11 AM

Heh, ya, I just saw that, but the only question I have is that if a browser has ffr's ip blocked, will it still play?

**Sprite-** · 05-12-2009, 02:13 AM

Unfortunately, no, it wouldn't play because it's loading content directly from ffr....so I guess this doesn't help you at all. Sorry =/

T)r6g0n · 05-12-2009, 02:14 AM

This is hard. I need to get the actual replay onto something that I can upload from a file, which is physically impossible. I know a proxy site that works, could I probably try to run it through a proxy?

Gah. Tried running it through the proxy but it went to a ffr widget instead of the replay.

Thanks for that Iframe idea though. I learned something very useful.
