Detecting Multi-Media Content on Web pages

Submitted by taylordm on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 4:35pm.

When viewing web pages with songbird, some tracks are identified and flagged for an optional download. Where in the code can I find the criteria used to make the decession as to if it is a track eligable for download. A site that I am interested in uses XML tags and replaces the "mms://" with "http://". I would like songbird to identify this when seen.

Where to look?

Thanks

Any URL ending in one of the extensions that Songbird (and it's installed media cores) supports (e.g. ".mp3", ".ogg", etc.) will be listed in the webplaylist and presented to the user to play or download.

So a URL like:
http://songbirdnest.com/test.mp3
works, as would:
http://songbirdnest.com/script.php?fn=whizzy.mp3

but http://songbirdnest.com/script.php
wouldn't.

more specifically, when he says "url" he means the href attribute of standard HTML/XHTML anchor tags:

<a href="http://my.server.com/myFile.mp3"/>
