Ok, we're now correcting the invalid XML, but the video is still not playable.

[phihag]

Looks like they are communicating via AMF (a Flash data interchange protocol). I see multiple requests to http://c.brightcove.com/services/messagebroker/amf?playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAF8Q-iyk~,FDoJSqZe3TTE7xe4JBg40_oRG4rE0toX .

[JuanCab]

It looks like there is enough documentation for AMF for an open implementation to exist (I found http://pyamf.org/ after quick search, although I am not sure if it is limited to the server-side of the equation). Would it be possible to implement support for AMF?

[jaimeMF]

It's fixed now. Thanks for the report!
There's no need to use the AMF calls, we just have to build the correct brightcove url and that's all. I actually think brightcove allways use the AMF protocol when using the flash player.

This error has been fixed in youtube-dl v2013.11.06.1, which we are releasing at the moment. Type sudo youtube-dl -U to update.
