• Single Video - "http://www.euronews.com/2017/01/25/naples-airport-growing-at-double-the-national-average"

Saw that the video is served jw platform and have seen youtube being able to download some which are served by jwplatform so shouldn't be too much work.

This is already covered by the generic extractor.

[shirishag75]

@dstftw Sergey, if you think so, then why wasn't it able to extract the video, it should have extracted the video, right ?

[dstftw]

It did. See your log.

[shirishag75]

@dstftw at the very end it says -

[info] Available formats for 170124_FLWB_160A0-144304_E:

0 mp4 unknown

What am I supposed to read into that, there is a video file on that page, and it doesn't give info. about any format that I know/can understand about. Please explain.

[dstftw]

You've asked it to list formats with -F. It listed you an mp4 format. What's not clear here?

[shirishag75]

Ah, most of the times the mp4 is usually listed with some more details, hence it was not clear to me, now it's amply clear.
