Use --force-generic; where does this URL come from?

[noped]

yes works with that command, its comes from here

https://tinyurl.com/mj8wrap

Which is http://ew.com/article/2016/07/23/comic-con-emerald-city-adria-arjona/

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, since the original raw m3u8 URL is not the sort of thing you would encounter directly. You would get it if you ran youtube-dl -g http://ew.com/article/2016/07/23/comic-con-emerald-city-adria-arjona/ if that site were properly supported.

#12178 adds support for Brightcove embeds like that page features. If it gets merged, then you would just use youtube-dl http://ew.com/article/2016/07/23/comic-con-emerald-city-adria-arjona/

I'm not sure if this is a significant bug or not; it's only apparent because there are more serious problems, I think. But a case could be made that _VALID_URL should be more tight in brightcove.py:

class BrightcoveLegacyIE(InfoExtractor):
    IE_NAME = 'brightcove:legacy'
    _VALID_URL = r'(?:https?://.*brightcove\.com/(services|viewer).*?\?|brightcove:)(?P<query>.*)'

Thanks to @johnhawkinson, this's already supported in the latest version.
