Hacking ebay ECOMMERCEPLAYER players on ebay

[unclex]

Well sometimes there is a whole track up on ebay and you want the mp3 - bugger how do I get you say....

Not the best post in the world - but at least it keeps my brain going..... POP!

Well I am only going to cover the one I wanted to do.

Which was a using a ECOMMERCEPLAYER which seems to be the most popular one at this time.

We will use IE Explorer and Firefox and and HTML editor for this demo.

clean the cache in your temp file directory before you start IE up.


C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR PROFILE?????\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

delete all the files


Open up another browser such as Firefox and go to the ebay page were the media files are via the ecommerce player.


What you are looking for is the media.xml file.



Example page

This may go out of date and it is not the one I wanted to do. Search Ebay for the word "hear" or "Listen" and list the highest value one and you will find some of these players.

Right hand click and view the source.

search for the "swf" and you will find the below link type.

src="http://media.ecommerceplayer.com/4b2daaa0-8d6b-45dd-b255-0de7934f397b/ecpPlayer.swf?initexemel=http://media.ecommerceplayer.com/4b2daaa0-8d6b-45dd-b255-0de7934f397b/config.xml"

Now remember what we are looking for the media.xml file.


If you just pop this into your browser

h**p://media.ecommerceplayer.com/4b2daaa0-8d6b-45dd-b255-0de7934f397b/media.xml

You will only find the .flv for the first audio file. In most case this is fine and to can take the link.

pop it into your browser and download it.



But what if there are more that two files - your not going to find it here...


You can not just save the whole page to your desktop.

As the files stream.......


Copy the source related to the player.

from the ebay page....


search for this

<!--ECOMMERCEPLAYER_BEGIN--> Include all the html between this </object>


Place it into an html editor and save the the html file to your desktop.


Open the file in IE explorer and the player should come up.

right, go back to your

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR PROFILE?????\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

this directory should be empty - if not delete all the files.


And look for the media.xml file.


copy media.xml to your desktop and remname it to media.txt

open it up in notepad and bingo!!!!

you now have the link to the FLV file or files, which is a form of movie file.

Now you can download the file via your Firefox browser.



Converting the FLV file to an MP3 is up to you........

There are many FLV players on google - some have spyware.........


On line flv converter that sometimes works.
