Thank you for the report. youtube-dl 2014.08.28.2 should download these files. Note that you can also use Regarding your edit, please refer to our FAQ, where it is documented why each issue ticket should only entail one actual issue. |

Wonderful! Thanks a lot. Didn't know. I'll start some new issues. |
Actually a repost, but it's better to start a new issue for this.
At the moment youtube-dl only detects rtlXL's adaptive/dynamic video-streams. It downloads these without problems, but I personally, in the first place, am more interested in the
youtube-dl.exe -g <url>-command. This way, with a small batch-file, I can quickly let youtube-dl generate and copy the url to the clipboard, so I can open it with Media Player Classic, rather than the online flashplayer. However, youtube-dl returns a link to a f4m-file, which can't be opened by Media Player Classic or ffmpeg directly.rtlXL does provide progressive/static video-streams however (for iOS and Android I believe). A program called GemistDownloader is able to retrieve those video-streams, but regrettably the author is unwilling to reveal its inner workings.
I've uploaded com.tapptic.rtl5.rtlxl.apk (RTL XL Android app v3.2). I don't know how to let the app create a packet dump, because I don't have much experience with Android. I hope it'll share its secrets with you people, so youtube-dl can get another update. I'd really appreciate it if you could have a look.
[edit]Oh, and if it's possible; just like
-F, --list-formats, could you add a-Sfor--list-subs?[edit]
