Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Trying to download some videos from http://www.cbs.com will fail with the ffmpeg error SAMPLE-AES encryption is not supported yet.

One of the problematic videos: https://www.cbs.com/shows/macgyver/video/16Uktn9vb53zY72LuEbkXdq5VYVX0T3J/macgyver-riley-airplane/

Manually choose the download quality, selecting StreamPack (e.g. hls-6300) rather than HLS_FPS.

By the looks of things (the presence of HLS_FPS and DASH-CENC), it's possible that they may soon transition to a drm system. If that happens, a corresponding download method won't be so easy.

I also found if I watched the network stream in chrome, I found a master.m3u8 in the stream that allowed me to download the whole thing. For instance, watching the network stream for "https://www.cbs.com/shows/madam-secretary/video/Ko2ii1MbS7GOI_s_Cze_gYzqf4lzI9Mz/madam-secretary-phase-two/" yielded "https://cbsios-vh.akamaihd.net/i/temp_hd_gallery_video/CBS_Production_Outlet_VMS/video_robot/CBS_Production_Entertainment/2018/03/29/1198216259920/CBS_MADAM_SECRETARY_417_AA_6CH_30M_1392609_,1628,4628,3128,2228,848,503,000.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8?hdnea=acl=/i/temp_hd_gallery_video/CBS_Production_Outlet_VMS/video_robot/CBS_Production_Entertainment/2018/03/29/1198216259920/CBS_MADAM_SECRETARY_417_AA_6CH_30M_1392609_*~exp=1523630150~hmac=0e83d92ccfb98416efd95169d4cdd1f8933385bff9dfc70fe0edb78be3fa63c2" which worked fine.

The link I found in chrome seems to be time dependant. I tried using it later and it failed.
