For anyone who needs *.CBSlocal.com rips in the mean time:

You can find the m3u file the player uses (in the network activity of your browser) hosted on http://cbslocal-download.s3.amazonaws.com/. It isn't encrypted or anything. It contains the URLs for other m3u's pointing to all the various quality levels of the video.

What I did looked like this:

youtube-dl http://vodtv.cbslocal.com.edgesuite.net/[information specific to the video].m3u8

Thanks for the report, most CBSLocal Los Angeles should work again in the next version.
