The actual video URL in this case ends up being http://snappytvpoc-pmd.nbcuni.com/snappy/video/NBC_News/912/11/2014-08-02T00-00-06.007Z--939.56__024039.mp4

Any idea how to get to that point? I'm actually trying to figure this issue out for plexinc-plugins/msnbc.bundle. Nothing on the page source code seems to have that domain, so it looks like JavaScript is in play here.

No idea, I don't code. I used Wireshark to packet sniff the GET request for the media file.
