RAI would certainly have many users but I suppose it's very complicated given Silverlight and all that rubbish?
Posting up to date output, it changed slightly.

Hello, I still cannot download RAI video. Take for example "Elio e le storie tese - Nano nano" at the URL: http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-bde5986e-e524-4700-9eac-999afdd0f197.html.
As we can see on the page code there is a script that links SilverLight video:

                    MediaItem.type = 'WMV';

                    var videoURL = "http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=MjDPE0Bw1uIeeqqEEqual";

                    var videoTitolo="";
                    var isUgc = false;
                    var videoFormat = '43';
                    var subtitle = '';
                    var estensioneVideo = 'wmv';
                    var codificaVideo = '';

With VLC is easy to pass the URL "http://mediapolis.rai.it/relinker/relinkerServlet.htm?cont=MjDPE0Bw1uIeeqqEEqual" and see the video. Does youtube-dl would do that?

Thank you
