That´s another service which streams Anime (legal of course) like Crunchyroll.

Here is a forum thread that has some useful information.

Basically, we want to get the URL for a manifest.f4m file, substitute a few strings in that URL, and this will get us the URL for a m3u8 playlist that can then be played.

Now, the trick is getting that URL. It appears to be computed by the site's Flash player, which has the following intiialization code inline in the webpage for an episode:

var flashvars = {
    's':"ServerControlled",
    "mv_id":"",
    "device_cd":"1",
    "ss1_prm":"59",
    "ss2_prm":"11472",
    "ss3_prm":"US",

    //?????
    'country':'/common2/pages/anime/swf/country.xml',
    'serverIP':'/common2/pages/anime/swf/serverip.xml',
    'init':'/fastAPI/bgn/init/',
};

var params = {
    allowScriptAccess:"always", 
    allowfullscreen :'true',
    wmode :"transparent"
};
var attrs = {};
swfobject.embedSWF('http://img.daisuki.net/common2/pages/anime/swf/bngn_player_001.swf', "bngn-player", "854", "480", "12.0.0", null, flashvars, params, attrs);

The interesting variables are ss1_prm and ss2_prm, which appear to determine the show and episode. I've been looking at the decompiled code from the flash player, but can't seem to follow what it is doing with them to get the manifest URL.

Cool. I also figured all of this out when I was working on a plugin for youtube-dl. One thing I realized is you don't have to include all of the code for RSA-encrypting a randomly generated AES key. You can just generate and encrypt a predefined key ahead of time. If we also implemented the pure-Python AES module from youtube-dl, we could remove the dependency on PyCrypto for this plugin.
