By default, they use RTMP. However, with an iPhone UA we can request view-source:http://www.tv4play.se/iframe/video/2491650?autoload=true . From then on, we'll have to request the master m3u8, which looks like

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=296000,RESOLUTION=384x216,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"
index_0_av.m3u8?e=b471643725c47acd
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=796000,RESOLUTION=640x360,CODECS="avc1.66.30, mp4a.40.2"

#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1496000,RESOLUTION=768x432,CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2"
index_2_av.m3u8?e=b471643725c47acd
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2495000,RESOLUTION=1024x576,CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2"

index_0_a.m3u8?e=b471643725c47acd

Downloading one of the files gives:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:9
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:YES
#EXT-X-VERSION:2
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1
#EXTINF:9,

segment2_3_av.ts?e=b471643725c47acd
#EXTINF:9,
segment3_3_av.ts?e=b471643725c47acd
...

For good user experience, we should merge that result into a single file.

Support for tv4.se/tv4play.se has been added and should be available in the next release of youtube-dl. Thanks for the report.
