I want to know who decided that at Disney.
One thing I just had in my head: What happens when you play one of the locked videos through their Android app? Maybe the app loads a different m3u8 with a key for the 1080p video?

No Problem. Thanks for the ideas and the help. I am not sure how to capture the m3u8 stream from a mobile device (phone/tablet) so I usually try changing the User-Agent within my computer's browser. I think i tried that recently with the di$ney site, then again maybe it was another site, i cant remember now. I guess i can try it again.
I was curious, since the 1080p KEY is missing from the server for new videos that are not yet unlocked, I was interested to know if OLD videos, where 1080p was previously available, would still have the key posted. I thought "would they really take the time to Remove it from the servers are re-locking the videos. The Answer .... Yes they did. The key was actually removed for those too. I guess they are really trying to beef up their security. Its just a shame that 1080p is the resolution being restricted. I am not a fan of lower quality video anymore.
Does anyone know what the time interval is for new videos to become "Unlocked"? One particular series I was looking at just got around to unlocking an episode that was 5 Weeks Old. That seems a little extreme as I though most sites unlock new episodes after about 1 week after they originally air on tv. Stream Monkey just said 1 week, but that does not seem to apply to the series i am looking at.
