this is a protected AdobeHDS stream.
there is also an unprotected AdobeHDS stream at http://www.globalcitizen.org/festival
but it would be interesting to be able to save or watch protected streams of msnbc.com in general.

Get links like

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/living-on-a-dollar-a-day-reality-of-extreme-poverty-revealed-329367619968

Then search inside for "guid"

id="TPVideoPlayerContainer" guid="n_msnbc_curry_140915"

Then call

http://feed.theplatform.com/f/2E2eJC/msnbc_video?form=json&range=-1&byGuid=n_msnbc_curry_140915

and json_decode it

Then loop through jsondecoded->entries[0]->{"media$content"} and search for {"plfile$url"}

Then call foreach entry

explode("?",$item->{"plfile$url"})[0]."?format=SMIL&formats=MPEG,MPEG4"

and xmldecode it

Here you have the mp4-streams, if any
