Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : streamin music videos

[bulldog1256]

There are sites like this videocodezone.com that allow people to place html code into their websites, profile, whatever and it contains a link to streaming music videos. They say they don't actually host the video files and I can't find reference to where they get the links. Anyone have any ideas

I see the link of where the tunes are coing from. It's an .asx file. Maybe you need more info...let me know

[Corey Bryant]

An ASX file created something like:

<asx version = "3.0">
  <entry>
    <ref href = "im_not_in_love.wma">
  <Title>Our Rainbow</Title>
  <Author></Author>
  <Copyright></Copyright>
  <Banner></Banner>
  </entry>
  <Title>Arnold G Dance</Title>
  <Author></Author>
  <Copyright></Copyright>
  <Banner></Banner>
  <LogURL href = ""/>
</asx>

but does that mean they are hosting the music because they say they don't, or do they have an include file that links to another site that we can't see? I would like any help I could get with this one. Thanks

[Corey Bryant]

Well in the

<ref href = "im_not_in_love.wma">

you can put anything that you want

I am asking if there is anyway to find out their sources without asking them?

[Corey Bryant]

The ASX file was created to prevent the source. It is borderline hacking.

Hmmm...interesting
