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: ./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.

For Pbs.pm the version is 0.01, this had been updated recently, and depends on new routines so can't just be downloaded by itself.

Restricted by region, so I can't look at it.

The sherlock season 3, was available with BBC Iplayer, time has expired, again restricted by region.

I can download this video using 1.25 from git and the modification described in issue #536

Attached my changed plugin, includes update in #536. comment #3, and might fix comment #5

When I tried a browser gave region restricted, response 403 is I think due to the region restirction, can't be sure.

I have a new Pbs.pm working.
