The extractor for the CNN website should be updated to also detect URLs such as:

http://money.cnn.com/mostly-human/silicon-valleys-secret/

page url: http://money.cnn.com/mostly-human/silicon-valleys-secret/

xml url: http://fave.api.cnn.io/v1/video?id=cnnmoney/2017/03/08/mostly-human-silicon-valleys-secret.cnnmoney&customer=cnn&edition=international&env=prod

best video url: http://ht.cdn.turner.com/cnn/big/cnnmoney/2017/03/08/mostly-human-silicon-valleys-secret.cnnmoney_1283468_ios_5500.mp4

Also, hds and hls as per xml (if someone wants to add these to the extractor).

[parmjitv]

Thanks for the info! I believe the link to the Fave API references a JSON-formatted data stream, rather than XML.

How did you deduce the best video URL? I do not see this link referenced anywhere in the output for this API call.

[parmjitv]

Another URL to consider is:

http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/20/media/trump-carl-bernstein-reliable-sources/index.html

Apparently this URL format does not use the Fave API for the video source.
