Public bug reported: System: Ubuntu 11.04 (but bug is not related to any other packages in system) Package: get-flash-videos 1.25~git2012.06.27-1
get-flash-videos is failing on certain videos from the BBC, apparently because of a change in the BBC web page code. Example output from failed run: $ get_flash_videos --debug http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23626232 2 plugins installed: - Hulu.pm - Itv.pm Trying to open plugin ~/.get_flash_videos/plugins/Www.pm Trying to open plugin ~/.get_flash_videos/plugins/Bbc.pm Using method 'bbc' for http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23626232 Downloading http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23626232 -> GET http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23626232 <- 200 text/html text/html; charset=utf-8 (58275) Error: Couldn't find BBC XML playlist URL in http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23626232 at /usr/share/perl5/FlashVideo/Site/Bbc.pm line 60. 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/bin/get_flash_videos --update If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.
