Error: Couldn't find media_id

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(!).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
V 1.24 OSX Lion

Please provide any additional information below.
If the URL I amusing is not correct then any advice on how to find the correct 
URL would be appreciated.

I agree you cannot download from the URL you reference, but the same video is 
downloadable from http://video.pbs.org/program/frontline/

Interesting if that URL works for you because I get the same Error: Couldn't 
find media_id although I got get_flash_videos to work with another URL.

I am using the latest download version from github. Perhaps that is the 
difference.

The above is for Windows and Macs only. Also no CLI access.
