As recently as January, WatchESPN videos were easy to download. They used HLS, and it was just a matter of using URL Snooper, filtering URLs by "content-aus", playing the video, getting a link like this:
http://content-ause1.uplynk.com/.../g.m3u8?...
and plugging that into livestreamer.
However, since January, ESPN seems to have changed things. They now use Brightcove Player instead of Flash, and URL Snooper doesn't turn up any m3u8 files anymore, just useless URLs related to Brightcove metrics and mysterious ESPN stuff.
Does anyone know how to download from Watch ESPN now? An example video is
http://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=3115768. Using URL Snooper on it, I only get useless non-m3u8 URLs like this:
http://w88.espn.com/b/ss/wdgesp360,w...11=index%3Awat
