I'm trying to download a video that has "cdnapisec.kaltura.com" as its source. (Kaltura is a youtube-dl supported site.)

[hub2git]

I'm trying to download this hour-long video here. When I check the page source, the "src" of the video seems to be cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/618072/sp/61807200/embedIframeJs/uiconf_id/25054252/partner_id/618072.

According to http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html, Kaltura is a supported site. So how can I download this video? Thank you.

phihag In another post says that this issue should have been fixed in Feb 28 2015 update.

I had a look at the site and I think you've got the wrong url. Try this: http://cfvod.kaltura.com/pd/p/618072/sp/61807200/serveFlavor/entryId/1_a52wc67y/v/2/flavorId/0_a6xfygse/name/a.mp4

You can even manually download it from that page if you'd like

Thanks, Green957. With your help, we didn't even need youtube-dl.
But for future kaltura-hosted videos that I'd like to download, is there a way to use youtube-dl and avoid having to look at the page source?

This issue will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for the report.

In which version this was resolved ?

I have the same problem on another video. Can you please explain how you determined that URL? How did you determine that when the exact URL is not listed in the source code?
