If you look at the URL of the page containing the video (eg. http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/livevideo/#n=cbcsports_ca_4...), it's really long, and at the end of it, there's a URL to a javascript file, something like:<BR/>http://authmfile.akamai.com.<BR/>edgesuite.net/akamai.stream.auth/<BR/>35018/wm/cbcwm.gen/v001/reflector:13377.js<BR/><BR/>If you open that URL in your browser (Internet Explorer doesn't seem to do it properly), then there's a single line with the URL to the actual video stream that you can then open in VLC.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679171906740071319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835146.post-74161563375404117802008-08-14T04:30:00.000-04:002008-08-14T04:30:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting a work-around, slipheed.
