I get this

Couldn't download 'rtmpe://ll.securestream.channel4.com/a4174/e1/mp4:xcuassets/CH4_08_02_16_25880001001001_001.mp4': 501 Protocol scheme 'rtmpe' is not supported
Can't locate object method "host" via package "URI::_foreign" at FlashVideo/URLFinder.pm line 64
I am probably not using the right command. I do realize that it says rtmpe not supported but as it uses RTMPDUMP for rtmp URLs I am not sure what to do as there are no options on the man page that I would put before the http web page that the video plays on.
get_flash_videos expects the HTTP URL of the web page hosting the video, it doesn't accept RTMP URLs. It will scrape the web pages itself to find the RTMP URLs and put them into the format that rtmpdump wants. The whole point of using the get_flash_videos script is to avoid the hassle of trying to find the RTMP URL yourself.
