but if you have seen enough of the cspan rtmp links, you will see the pattern to the 1 hour and 5 minute links by sequential timestamp of the filename. you can call these rtmp urls independently of what the flash player calls, if you know the timeframe you need. you also can call the hd and std versions separately too if you know how the url naming works.

I am starting to figure out the url naming scheme. And I have been using ffmpeg of late to grab the videos using the m3u8 url. Do all videos have a hd AND std version? If i can get the std version each time that is better since it does not have all the extra crap like in the hd stream.
