wat.tv changed interface (doesn't work anymore)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi!

wat.tv apparently changed their interface, and the old 
http://www.wat.tv/interface/contentv2/$video_id URLs are no longer valid.

The new mechanism works along the following lines:

1. Get videoID; the new IDs are a bit longer e.g. 342446nIc0K114702047 but the 
old-style IDs are in there, here it'd be: 4702047
2. Get JSON from http://www.wat.tv/interface/contentv3/$old_id
3. Get video location. This involves a request to e.g.
http://www.wat.tv/get/web/4702047?
token=ded03ca8a49cbda5f8d965f3786fb9d4/4dda9ed2
&domain=www.wat.tv
&domain2=www.wat.tv
&revision=4.0.993
&synd=0&helios=1&
context=swf2
&pub=5
&country=XX
&sitepage=WAT%2Ftv%2Fcatchup%2Fjt_tf1_13h
&lieu=wat
&playerContext=CONTEXT_WAT
&getURL=1
&version=MAC%2010,3,181,14

where the token seems to be important for the server to return a correct video 
URL. The part after the slash is just a hexadecimal unix timestamp, but I 
haven't figured out what the (apparently MD5) first part means.
4. Download video file from URL returned by previous request.

HTH

Alright, I figured it out.
Unfortunately it involves a secret key disassembled from the ActionScript in 
the player flash file.

Anyhow, it's at https://github.com/l337r007/get-flash-videos
so feel free to pull and test.

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).

Check for updates by running: ./get_flash_videos --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or
contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/
make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.
Couldn't download any videos.

Alright, I admit that my patch was a bit faulty. :( But the build system 
apparently as well. If you do:

git clone https://github.com/l337r007/get-flash-videos.git
cd get-flash-videos/
make release-combined
./combined-get_flash_videos-1.25 --debug 
"http://www.wat.tv/video/decouverte-marais-salperwick-3wmyr_2eyxv_.html"

It should download as intended now. I committed a bunch of fixes from other 
forks now as well.
