I'm on Linux and using the rtmpdump tools as well as other old methods of trying to snoop the URLs for these videos. I'm not getting it for some reason. The Windows software located here http://www.allavsoft.com/how-to/down...bs-videos.html works in a virtual machine but I'd rather stay away from that. I need to update my skills. Can anyone give me a clue? I'd prefer to understand the latest method you use to grab the URL and I'll take it from there. Thanks.

We're sorry, but this video is not available in your region due to right restrictions.

All you need to do is find the main .m3u8 file using AdBlock Plus in Firefox. It's named

x2bnys7c_vwar0101-16x9-1080p.m3u8

Just use that full url in livestreamer and it should work. Working right now for me. I opted to grab the 720p version and I have about 1.5 GB captured so far.

View the embed page and you'll see two redirects. One to mp4 (720p) and one to hls.

Thanks. I ended up getting the m3u8 link using an HLS plugin for Firefox. I cannot find it in the page source, I'm not sure what magic you did to find it there! Is this HLS stuff the new RTMP?
