Mobile views, done the way I showed, never had audience retention logging. I believe iPhone version of the site did, and not Android... not too sure, but that doesn't matter now really.I remember running a few links through WireShark on 25th of May (I just checked the file) and those links had "et" and "st", so not sure why you're referring to the date 03.06.2012 if they were added before then, unless you mean they only started logging the audience retention on that date?
<?php
$plid = $_GET['session'];
echo base_convert($plid,10,36);
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand(5002610349452,7954295789457);
echo base_convert($random_number,10,36);
exit();
?>
this was a really interesting thread early on until it got swamped with magicviews posts.
how has everyone got on with izspk's OP? Get it working? Personally i failed at generating the plid - seems i suck writing a routine to make a valid base36 plid lol which is so annoying as the rest of it with httprequests is not a problem.
Also with this method could a bot actually ever be made just by putting in a video link, you need the exact len parameter which you'd need to get from watching the requests as they are sent during a normal play through - or am i wrong on that?
thanks for the php i'll give it a try later. not done anything with the cookie though didnt think it was important. for the referrer(header not referrer=) im using m.youtube.com
In what language did you code your bot?
started it in visual c# but converted it to vb.net now as i prefer the editor as it auto indents better and i make very messy code.
done a run through now with 1000 views. bit slow calling my server for the plid each time but i guess i could run wamp and host the php locally. but can come back to that if it works, wasted too much time on that function originally
got to wait now see if they show... fingers crossed![]()
can you tell me should i use spk bot default parameters of like that one -U t -D 1 any one can tell me which one should use.
