The Daily Show fails always for me.

this is what I see using the same simple script which just adds an output template and downloads the file.

@GARCAD Excellent, I'll be sure to bake that into the extractor.

Fixed now.

Works fine from Germany, with rtmpdump e0056c51cc1710c9a44d2a2c4e2f344fa9cabcf4 . Which version are you using?

[jacobian]

Ah OK, might very well be that. I'm using v2.3 installed with homebrew, looks to be somewhat out of date. I'll try upgrading.
