I'm a long time user of get_iplayer and youtube-dl. I've been using both of them since their early days.
At one time it was possible with get_iplayer to get the content at the BBC Archive collections.
I know that things changed recently with get_iplayer and now the advice with video on BBC webpages, that is - not on iPlayer and without a PID, is to use youtube-dl.
That works for the most part. But it doesn't work for BBC Archive collection content such as -

I've been trying a few things such as Livestreamer, Streamlink, URLSnooper. I'm not having any luck. For all 3 of these programs it's the first time I've used them so maybe I'm missing something.
From what I understand I should be looking for a playlist or a .xml file. The nearest I can find with URLSnooper is this -
Code:
setPlaylist("http://"+location.host+"/archive/xml/76/20.xml")
But I don't know what to do with that. I'm thinking maybe I have to get the "location.host" but have no idea how, if in fact that is the answer to getting the video.
