Ran into this same problem. One of the show specific sites had the current episode embedded right into it though, and clicking on it worked, so I snagged the packets and (after quite a bit of mucking about) managed to figure out how to use flvstreamer with "http://www.cbc.ca/video"; to view all the various shows.
It's a bit of a pain, but I don't see any other options until they fix it (maybe someone will script it all up nice like what I understand has been done for the BBC site). Anyway, here's the steps (you have to be in Canada for this to work) 1 - Right click on the video selector thumbnail under "http://www.cbc.ca/video"; and copy the link (e.g., "javascript:CBC.APP.UberPlayer.playRelease('http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?pid=...";) 2 - Paste the "http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?pid=..."; bit in a new window (you only need up to the end of the pid) 3 - You will get an XML document that has a "<url>rtmp://cp37429.edgefcs.net/...<break>netstorage/....flv<url/> component in it 4 - Quickly run (you only have 5-10s before the url expires) flvstreamer -y <PLAYPATH> -r <URL> -o <FILE> where <PLAYPATH> is the bit after <break> minus the ".flv" extension from the url component, <URL> is the bit before the <break> from the url component, and <FILE> is whatever you want to save the stream as. 5 - Once it completes downloading, you can run mplayer <FILE> to watch it (or do whatever you do to watch .flv files). -- Flash hangs on any cbc.ca/video site https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
