Some movies download in low resolution or without audio #2

First of all, great tool! However I am struggling with no audio in the resulting file. Tested it with this for example: https://elonet.finna.fi/Record/kavi.elonet_elokuva_124408 And I had to install ffmpeg package first to my Ubuntu before the script agreed to run.

The script cannot handle some movies where Javascript appears to be used for retrieving an XML file that contains URLs to .m4s files with the movie data. I haven't looked too closely into this but you can get the URLs by using your browser's Developer Tools / Network tab, and then manually batch download and join them.

If anyone wishes to add support for retrieval of these URLs to elonet-dl, pull requests are welcome. You may need to execute Javascript or otherwise decipher the logic of how to find an XML playlist with the akamai URL to video files, and frankly I don't have the time needed to fully investigate this.

I'll keep the bug open as this seems to affect many users.
