[phihag]

teachingchannel.com uses a protocol that youtube-dl doesn't support itself, called m3u8. We rely on the external program ffmpeg (which does support m3u8) for these downloads. You need to have this program installed. Unfortunately, it seems you are not using a package manager (which would install ffmpeg automatically), so you'll have to download ffmpeg and place it into the same directory as youtube-dl or any other directory on your PATH.

Thanks Phil. I will give it a try. I appreciate all of the work you guys do.

[BonzoFestoon]

Yep, that seems to have solved that problem as well. You guys rock!
