Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

My S.O is Linux, and browser is Firefox.

I am making an extractor to flashx.tv.
When I pass to youtube-dl the url http://www.flashx.tv/j2p2t8sp7s1s.html, which contains the fields for http post. This http post request the url http://www.flashx.tv/dl?j2p2t8sp7s1s, where it is the url true, really, the different pieces that form the url. But, however, I get the same url containing the next message "You try to access this video with Kodi / XBMC or TV BOX.", "This is prohibited!"

However, when previously, I open with the browser the url http://www.flashx.tv/j2p2t8sp7s1s.html, and then run again youtube-dl it works.

I hope I explained well.
Regards and thanks.

Most likely you don't pass some headers or don't follow some checkpoints a browser does.
Closing since it's not related to youtube-dl.

[movbit]

I can put here the self._download webpage?

[dstftw]

What for?

[movbit]

To display the headers.
Sorry, if this is not the place to ask this.

[dstftw]

This is the place to ask questions about youtube-dl not about how particular website implements its protection. What you should do is to analyze what a browser sends and implement the same sequence of actions in code.

Ok, thanks
