As of November 13, 2009, This script works for megavideo. Originally from a random post by sizzlemctwizzle.

You can also use megavideo/megaporn - video player only in order to hide all content on player pages, except the video player itself.

Features

  • Download link of the video file
  • Shows video name
  • Shows video file size
  • Shows video length
  • Calculates Megabytes per minute rate
  • Shows the date the video was added
  • Shows a screen capture in the video player

Cause and license

There are very little sources on the internet today that deal with Megavideo's destructive need to obscure their video files. I created this script with the intention of providing a stable and clear source for the code which deals with this issue. As well as give an example of how an open source approach can enable anyone (and everyone!) to extend the website with useful features.

This script is distributed under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike (by-sa). If you're a developer looking to use and expand this script, please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the license, and follow it accordingly by linking back to this page, and giving me credit for it.

If you're publishing a user script, also consider building it as an extension of this script, for the sake of compatibility.

update log

November 13
The script has reached 10,000 installs! :D
  • Added a link to a Megaupload copy of a video, when available. This can help bypass Megavideo's time limit, server speed limits, and get you a much higher quality video in most cases.
  • Fixed bug on video player. Now displays a screencap again.
  • Improved the decrypt function. Now uses native Javascript for hex to decimal to binary convertion.
  • Resized video player

Removed Megaporn, doesn't work for now.

March 26
Had a few days of down time due to an update on megavideo, works now. Also added license.

March 15
  • Changed the video player to Megavideo's other player, that they provide for embedding videos on external websites. Now we'll get a screencap instead of an advert when the page loads.
  • Cleaned up the original decrypt function
March 14
If you want any of these new features to be optional, say so and I'll see what I can do.
  • Added length and size tags
  • Added megabyte per minute feature for approx. quality estimate
  • The script connects to the XML again now, for these
March 13
Now suggests the video's title for the name of the file in the download window. Thanks exoflux!

March 10
  • Added urldecode for var values
  • Added the date to the tooltip (title="")
March 8
So /now/ megavideo has an ugly ad right under the play button ...can you tell they're getting desperate? lol

list of updates.
  • Megavideo's implementation moved to an inline script tag instead of the former external xml — now extracting vars from the tag
  • Added the file name to the tooltip (title="")
  • updated @include for ?d=* as well as ?v=*
