more of "looks like SVT is trying to put a stop to it"

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Downloading from (and many others): http://www.svtplay.se/video/41516/, like 
http://www.svtplay.se/video/68102/del-4

fails :(  After adding some debug, it shows up:

### rate='0'
### 
url='http://svtplay3d-f.akamaihd.net/z/se/krypterat/20120904/68102/ANCIENT_MYSTE
RI-004A-mp4-,c,d,e,-v1-4e4d5f8af58b41632dbf79fa4342b6c1667ee104.mp4.csmil/manife
st.f4m'

Any idea if this is a dead end?

Cheers,

url's ending .f4m see channel 4 issue 379, the .f4m manifest will contain the 
streaming information, that may or may not be an encrypted stream. If not 
encrypted then it should be possible to download and play. Encrypted streams 
need to do an exchange to find the key, which is current sticking point for 
channel 4, finding the key.

Well, mplayer (possibly ffmpeg) can play the blasted thing (svtplay).  I found 
this much:

1. example url: 
<http://www.svtplay.se/video/350713/george-harrison-living-in-the-material-world
-del-2-av-2> (will keep being accessible for 4 more days)

2. get_flash_videos -d <url>, with a modified Svtplay.pm

3. output shows the manifest 
<http://svtplay5f-f.akamaihd.net/z/se/secure/20121012/1323334-002A/GEORGE_HARRIS
ON-002A-236fd30926ce5b14_,900,320,420,620,1660,2760,.mp4.csmil/manifest.f4m> 
and some sort of playlist 
<http://svtplay5f-f.akamaihd.net/i/se/secure/20121012/1323334-002A/GEORGE_HARRIS
ON-002A-236fd30926ce5b14_,900,320,420,620,1660,2760,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8>

4. download the playlist; will show various resolutions (that's where the key 
is); pick one:

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2755000,RESOLUTION=1280x720,CODECS="avc
1.66.30, mp4a.40.5"
http://svtplay5f-f.akamaihd.net/i/se/secure/20121012/1323334-002A/GEORGE_HARRISO
N-002A-236fd30926ce5b14_,900,320,420,620,1660,2760,.mp4.csmil/index_5_av.m3u8?nu
ll=&e=b2a7ace1bf661c32&id=AgBRuvOUFzxFowt5fVDTzUkL9HfIx6LvAySgAXZcyPEzLTKelMIODy
+LUZB%2fOvXAEd88o2FzPR5pKA%3d%3d

5. give the above url to mplayer and try to enjoy (as much as you can) the 
jumpy 647 fragments

I didn't discover the mplayer/ffmpgeg magic that would enable saving/store that 
stuff to a video file.

Cheers,

I found a way to save the stream after reading this thread 
<https://github.com/mmn/svtget/issues/15> (swedish).  And the commandline is:

ffmpeg -i '<url with key>' -vcodec copy -strict experimental <outfile>.mp4

stvplay has been updated and now runs ffmpeg. This can be closed.
