that the url associated with the file can/should be listed in the json under "l", but I can't see an "l" value in any of the lists I've been able to access so far.

This relates to a program website and not to the path of the video files, eg http://abc.com.au/catalyst/ this tag is used to provide the "go to website" link in the episode description, where appropriate.

this can be further complicated by the fact there are 3 companies involved (ABC, Hostworks and Akamai) and as shown by the f and g tags in the json file a fair bit of automation in the access management, which may also extend to storage management.

For Example We don't know how much storage capacity ABC is renting(though if someone could be bothered adding up the size of all files on the server including unlisted we'd get a ball park idea...maybe), so files that appear to be "gone" may still exist on the akamai and/or hostworks servers and just be restricted (or simply have the extension renamed/deleted), or it may have actually been removed to make way for a new file.



They would certainly be stored somewhere in ABC at least for as long as their licencing allows, but as that is off the grid doesn't do us any good.
