Site Structure

  • On pages like http://blip.tv/comedy-videos there is pagination but the page links are only '#' and need js to work
  • Each anchor tag does have a data-results_page value that appears to carry the url information. Here is an example:
   <a class='currentResults' href="#" data-results_page="/channel/get_directory_listing?channels_id=46&page=1">1</a>
   <a class='advanceResults' href="#" data-results_page="/channel/get_directory_listing?channels_id=46&page=2">2</a>
   <a class='advanceResults' href="#" data-results_page="/channel/get_directory_listing?channels_id=46&page=3">3</a>
  • Only 3 links of pagination are shown at a time. To find out how many pages a category has you must click the "double arrow right" at the bottom of the page, which requires javascript.
  • Each page of results in a category is only 8 shows at a time.
  • Each show has x many episodes
  • To video an episode list for a show you must have javascript enabled. This is also true for pagination on these pages.
  • If you have the url of a video's page http://blip.tv/zomblogalypse/zomblogalypse-series-trailer-5617646 for example get-flash-video can download the video in a nice mp4 file.
  • There is no /sitemap.xml
  • robots.txt crawl delay is 1 second.
