Abstract:
1. A method of indexing multimedia content comprising: locating in a display page an element by using regular expressions or Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, wherein the element is a tag associated with a multimedia content; identifying a binary multimedia application code, wherein the binary multimedia application code is embedded in or linked to the display page via the element; using a processor to automatically scan the binary multimedia application code for a plain text pointer to a potential multimedia content data file; decompiling the binary multimedia application code; using a sniffer to parse network traffic to identify an obfuscated potential multimedia content data file by parsing HTTP traffic to recognize XML files by identifying XML tags using regular expressions or DOM traversal; testing a potential association of the heuristic by matching known values; in the event the heuristic fails, generating an exception for human interaction and mapping; and processing the potential multimedia content data file to generate an index data for the multimedia content, wherein: 1) processing the potential multimedia content data file includes building a data model of the potential multimedia content data file; and 2) wherein to build the data model comprises applying a heuristic that associates a short string as a title; a long string as a description; a string included in a set of rating strings as a rating; and a date as a release date.
