Sadly downloading videos from the Austrian/German/Swiss cooperated TV channel 3sat stopped some time ago:

We never had explicit support for 3sat, just a generic downloader that tries out various common formats. It looks like 3sat has changed their playback system, and now loads the video dynamically instead of just embedding it in the website.
