Hey mark

You don't need the http bit at the start of the linkText.

I'd also suggest using = to separate name, value pairs and & to separate
items as with a CGI url. Then you can just:

put urlDecode(pLink) into tLink
split tLink by "&" and "="
if tLink[type] = "video" then
  set the fileName of player x to tLink[linkauto]
end if

Cheers
