How to download FLV videos

This might be tricky at first, or maybe the first few times, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty quick.

For those vidoes you can't get the video IDs from, but have the episode IDs, try this:

In the URLs you posted mention the episode IDs(1721976, 1721977)

Append one of those IDs to the end of this URL:
Code:

http://www.mtv.com/global/music/videos/ajax/playlist.jhtml?id=

Now for the "wolf watch" show (1721977), it works as intended.
It brings up a playlist of the episode, of all 4 clips.
The video ID for each clip is listed at the bottom of the page:
1002049,1002050,1002051,1002053

You would append these video IDs to the end of this URL:
Code:

http://www.mtv.com/player/includes/mediaGen.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:

(When you get your links from the XML pages, copy starting from /gps.alias/ to append to the final URL to watch/download)

MTV cuts their episodes into clips though, so in this case 4. So if you want to download this show you will have to download all 4 clips and join them together using some sort of mp4 joiner program to create a single seamless video.

Now for the actual episode (1721976), all I'm getting is a white page when I append the ID to the end of the URL above.
If I open up the browser console, I can see that the page is coming back "ACCESS DENIED". So they are intentionally blocking access to the playlist.

Download FLV videos from CBC.ca

Easy peasy.

RTMPDump and RTMPDumpHelper will do the trick for that video

Download:

RTMPDump (link)
Extract archive to folder on desktop (or anywhere).
RTMPDumpHelper (link)
Extract archive into the same folder.

Open rtmpsrv.exe (if it's first time windows firewall will ask for permission, allow it)
Command prompt should open saying streaming on rtmp://0.0.0.0:1935

Now open RTMPDumpHelper.exe
You should see two windows open, the dump helper and rtmpsuck.exe in another command prompt.
We aren't going to use rtmpsuck, so close the second command prompt.

Now go to your link (http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Canada/BC/ID/2417295255/)

In the first command prompt window (rtmpsrv.exe) you should see the file begin to download.
The file is located in the same folder as the files (bc-131111-Goble-victory-square.flv)

Done.

Edit: I should mention I am using Firefox to do all this. For whatever reason I can't get RTMPDumpHelper to attach properly to the chrome process to capture the rtmp stream.

How to download FLV videos from CBC.ca?

It's super easy, so let me explain. This is using Firefox.

Here's a quick and fast version:

get video ID number from video page. Looks like 99XXXX in the URL.

Add ID to end of this URL: http://www.mtv.com/player/includes/mediaGen.jhtml?uri=mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:

Find the video bitrate URL you want.

Add everything after /sites/ from the video bitrate URL to this

Good bye CBC

I have been trying to fix this glitch for several days. 18 hours to be exact. 
I have had it with the CBC and their stupid changes. From uninstalling to installing- changing firefox browsers - adobe this and that. Nothing on the CBC is worth this much aggravation. I will never understand why people fix things that are not broken. If you are intentionally trying to lose viewers you could not have done a better job. Am I angry? ope just even. To hell with online CBC.:(
