Yeah, it's a flash app. Way beyond anything that net plugin can deal with. http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/ is where the flv files live, but my browser says 403, "You don't have permission to access /public/ on this server." if I try to get to it with browser. If wget manages to iterate through the /public/ using wildcard expression (does it?), dunno how it does it. > This is the link that I get using Wireshark when grabbing images: > http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/ > *_[A-Z,0-9]_.jpg|flv Yeah, got same with live http headers firefox plugin. > This is an example for one of the cams: > http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/ > EN117_N2PBOJ_376x282.jpg > > (by the time you check the above link, the image is not there > anymore, it gets updated every 5 to 10 minutes) > Any ideas? No, not really. There's even a basic conceptual problem. I clicked on same camera icon twise with a time gap, got http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/P-25-Abril-Norte_J05606_normal.flv http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/P-25-Abril-Norte_MRB35P_normal.flv Now, even if one could iterate through P-25-Abril-Norte_*_normal.flv in http://telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/ there's no guarantee that there won't be more than one file meeting the criteria. Quite possible several are on the go at the same time, and the flash app changes link from one to another.
