Byutv.org not supported


Posted on Apr 17, 2013 by Grumpy Rhino

I was hoping to be able to download Granite Flats from byutv.org, but it appears this site is not supported. I made a feeble attempt at adding support, but my perl-fu & javascript-fu was far too weak.

Example URLs: http://www.byutv.org/watch/ee896b24-5ec3-4608-8ad9-27584e173c4c/granite-flats-pilot http://www.byutv.org/watch/68c3077a-adea-4d01-ac0e-a3275c6f3a5b/granite-flats-empty-box http://www.byutv.org/watch/738d498a-4b99-4893-a41c-af7c740fa88c/granite-flats-a-secret-to-the-heart-nearest

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. Couldn't download any videos.

Did you ever get it to work? Or find another way to download Granite Flats?

I did not, I ended up just watching it streaming via their Android app w/ my TV plugged into my tablet. Would have preferred downloading a local copy to my media PC the TV's already plugged into.

I might make another attempt at getting get_flash_videos working now that Season 2's started. But I've been having computer issues, so it might be a while before I get around to it. If anyone else wants to have a try, I believe byutv.org uses Ooyala as their video player, and the git-hub tree already has an Ooyala.pm module. I have no idea how many changes would be required to get it working w/ byutv.org.
