cbs.com 720p Stream capturing issues

[ehurdler]

I am trying to capture streams from cbs.com, Trying 720p version.

I try using the cbs.php script from a few months ago posted by Biezom from http://stream-recorder.com/forum/sho...89&postcount=3

Video I am trying in question is from:

http://www.cbs.com/shows/madam-secretary/video/wgjNjmnquuZ4PNnKYLytFW2Nc_DK5q93/madam-secretary-on-the-clock/

I run the script:

php cbs.php http://www.cbs.com/shows/madam-secretary/video/wgjNjmnquuZ4PNnKYLytFW2Nc_DK5q93/madam-secretary-on-the-clock/

I get

http://link.theplatform.com/s/dJ5BDC/u6CcZigKccDC?mbr=true&manifest=m3u

When you open the link above in the browser it gives you a content.m3u8 file. When you open the file in a text editor it gives:

If I try and capture the 720p version with ffmpeg:

Starts downloading and starts with errors:

Eventually this will finish and give a file with the full episode time, But it has an ad for the first 30 seconds and it is cutting off the beginning 30 seconds of the video.

To Be Continued....
