m3u8 or just an mp4????

[vipshar2015]

Hi all,

So I could use some help with this one. I have a BTN2go plus subscription. While streaming video, URLSnooper and Bitrecorder both find this "m3u8" link:

http://nlds20.dal.neulion.com/play?u...3u8;*.ts;*.mp4


If you notice, at the end it says "*.m3u8;*.ts;*.mp4"

Either way, ffmpeg can't seem to decipher it. I get this error:

Anyone know why? Also, I was able to find actual links to mp4s of the video at different bitrates, but those don't work:

So, what the heck is going on????? Any help with this mystery is appreciated!
