chap, would you be able to explain how you got the syntax for this? I am trying to capture some of the non-sports videos and the syntax you provided does not work for those. Example, this link: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/exa...act-space-race

If I navigate to what comes up to be the manifest file, I can see all the options for video stream index, and audio stream index. I just can't get the proper code/syntax to reproduce anything that will stream download with ffmpeg. Quick copy/paste from manifest is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
