Support for www.linuxcbt.com videos

[vinitkhandagle]

I tried using youtube-dl for www[dot]linuxcbt[dot]com to download videos from there. Looks like this site is not supported. I wanted to request if this could be supported in youtube-dl. it would be a great help

Thanks for the this wonderful tool.

@phihag Were you able to test this site.. Would it be possible to have youtube-dl work for it..

[dengsauve]

@phihag Routed here from CodeTriage. Looks like this issue is old, and upon examining the site and videos, I doubt youtube-dl will support this site. Any chance of closing this issue?

I got no videos from http://demos.linuxcbt.com/launch.php?demoID=MTEy. @dengsauve Does it work for you?

[dengsauve]

@yan12125 this does not work for me, and I doubt that it will due to how the site renders the videos. I doubt youtube-dl will move in a direction of supporting this format. I would suggest closing this issue.

[yan12125]

Got it.
