Hello,
I try to get the following Flash-video but the download fails with:

Downloading 
http://www.rtp.pt/play/p857/e112831/nas2.share/h264/512x384/bemvindos/bemvindos_
1_20130403.mp4...
Sorry, file does not look like a media file, aborting.

My command is:
$ get_flash_videos http://www.rtp.pt/play/p857/e112831/bem-vindos -d

Please see the following log file.

I originally installed get-flash-videos from the Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy's) 
repository. Later I even installed the latest version (v.1.24-1) from
https://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/wiki/Installation

$ sudo apt-get install libwww-mechanize-perl libxml-simple-perl

$ wget 
http://get-flash-videos.googlecode.com/files/get-flash-videos_1.24-1_all.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i get-flash-videos_1.24-1_all.deb 

I may have messed the installation completly, BUT I get the same error 
(failure) message in all cases.

Kindly
 Osmo (Moma) Antero

Confirm I get the same issue here. gfv is using the generic method, searching 
for mp4 url's. In this case the url ending mp4 is not an mp4 file. A plugin 
will need developing for this site. Site does play from here,

Ok, it wasn't mp4 after all.
Thanks for your time.
