Hi,
While writing my plugin, I uncovered an online list of artists/albums/songs as well as links to the page where they are posted on 4shared.com. From the 4shared page's source, I extracted the media link and passed this on to the XBMC player and it used to work fine. Recently it stopped and I realized that if I am logged into the website and paste in the same url into the browser, the stream opens fine. If I sign out and retry, it doesn't work
for example, from this 4shared page, I get this media link
Has anyone had any experience with this? I have tried messing around with cookiejar and mechanize browser but haven't been able to get it to work yet. Also looked at the 4shared REST/SOAP apis but they seem to require going through search to find the 4shared urls (which doesn't work for files which are not public)
Thanks!
