Is this useful?

http://npoplus.nl/api/infi/titles/189676/all

I can't find where it gets the ID (in this case 189676).

Edit: I think this is a very hard one. All the content is DRM'd Silverlight. Switching user agents to iOS doesn't work too, because it recommends playing the videos with their "app" instead of playing the video with HTML5.

Edit 2: Just tried to reverse engineer the Android app, but I couldn't find an hidden key or anything. I know now however, that they use this DRM service in combination with Microsoft PlayReady.

Should this issue perhaps be renamed to support NLZiet?

I've been doing some checking on this. Using this video as example: http://app.nlziet.nl/video/rtl/116955

The website seems to make a connection to:
http://api.nlziet.nl/v1/Customer?oauth_token=###&oauth_consumer_key=key&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_timestamp=###&oauth_nonce=XO63XX&oauth_signature=####

Next step is getting the actual video details:
http://api.nlziet.nl/v1/video?oauth_token=###&oauth_consumer_key=key&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&expand=true&extra=comscore&id=116955&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_timestamp=###&oauth_nonce=Nlnr44&oauth_signature=###

Here the "id" matches the ID of the video. It returns some data, including a "ContentIdDeelnemer" ID

This is then used in getting:
http://tm-videourlfeed.rtl.nl/api/url/?device=pc&format=dash&drm=widevine

This then returns a to a URL to a Manifest.mpd file, which I have attached (renamed to .txt)
Manifest.txt

Not sure this helps, but I hope so. I can do more debugging if anyone has any specifics.
