I did try to have a look at this, it's restricted so can't try from here, I 
need to find a proxy, looked but could not see one for NZ. Also seen your push 
requests. For tvnz, some content is restricted - tried Revolution, then tried 
more local content this played using debian sequeeze/iceweasel/flashplayer 
v11.2, but doesn't download...

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).

Check for updates by running: /usr/local/bin/get_flash_videos --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug
at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ making sure you include
the output with --debug enabled. Alternatively, fix it yourself and send us
a pull request on Github: https://github.com/monsieurvideo/get-flash-videos

Had to search for downloads I could use without region checking, these 
downloaded without the issues you referred in your pull request to 
stopping/starting. That suggests you might be using an older version of 
rtmpdump. I used debian squeeze with rtmpdump I built from git, for the above 
two downloads. These are short 1-3mins, couldn't find any longer content I 
could use.

My latest commit should fix the first issue you found.

The need to resume downloads likely only kicks in for larger clips.  It tends 
to happen several times for a 40 minute episode, maybe 4-6 times.

You should now be able to get all your weather forecasts in the native Elvish, 
just like all New Zealanders insist on :)

I found some longer video clips, had random breaks in a 20 minute clip, getting 
the same problem as you now. Difficult to track down where these issues come 
from, this case I think the actual site might be the source of the problem.

Your change works well, I got the weather forecast in Elvish :)

Will look at including the pull request.
