@flyingzebras, if the latest git version is working for you, please close this issue.

@flyingzebras

sudo /usr/bin/get_flash_videos --update

Is this a bug?

As @njtaylor explains in #204, the --update feature is no longer viable and needs to be removed. Also the documentation needs to be updated accordingly. Since we are all volunteering our work on get_flash_videos, someone needs to volunteer to do these things. If you would like to help improve this site's wiki or documentation, please give it a go.

You can download the last release from here.

Alternatively you can use git to download the latest code and build your own.

Please close this issue as your original concerns have been directly resolved.

@pcwalden tv4play.se require login to watch their Flash videos, do get_flash_videos login automatically? With the latest git version I get this:

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.

@flyingzebras I believe you are still using the old version. It should say that you are using version 3 of the tv4play plugin. There is no support for logging in to the site so only non-premium videos are downloadable right now.

@karjonas

There is no support for logging in to the site so only non-premium videos are downloadable right now.

Yes, that would be an enhancement. However, I would point out that get_flash_videos does have the infrastructure for users to define site login/passwords. See man netrc, for how to configure ~/.netrc. The Pbs.pm plugin uses that mechanism to log into the pbs.org site and access higher definition video. However, I agree it is a significant amount of work to figure it out for a specific site.
