Need help decompiling a swf player

Quote:Need help decompiling a swf player

Yeah... no other way to figure this one out unfortunately.
The site uses AMF to talk to the server, which communicates via binary files (as opposed to text based ones like XML), so it is impossible to just use wireshark to look at the requests.

@digitalhigh
the reason it isn't good to just try and then try again is it would take FOREVER. For example lets say we're looking for my home town. It would take four requests before it was found (cityname, citynameXX, citynamecity, region) Try doing four requests from your browser to see how long it takes.

@nuka
if you figure it out or if blueCop comes through for you, a pyAMF module already exists so you can make your requests.

Just downloaded Sothink swf decomp

So let`s see wtf is going on.

Tried wiresharking the damn thing and ended up very annoyed after 1hour.

Will post back if i find anything.

thanks appreciate it. i just downloaded that software also, but am lost.

if you find anything maybe the steps you took so i can do this myself in the future.

the .swf files it finds, are not the actual weather video, so i don't know how to proceed.

thanks again

rwparris that pyamf is huge, i hope it's not necessary. it also may need element tree. didn't play with it too much.

I gave up and just hacked it in.

there seems to be only us videos and i think i have accounted for all the regions. not fully tested but works well for the most part.

thanks for your help.

I didn't actually play with it, I just saw that the site was using AMF and found python already had a module to deal with it. Just wanted to throw you the link in case you found it useful.

yep i appreciate the headsup, just was commenting on how huge it is.

When will weather+video forecast be available to play with??

it's in svn
