The TG4 scraper doesn't work at all.

TG4 have recently redesigned their website: now all the content on the site is served up by a Brightcove system (http://www.brightcove.com/en/). This makes all the video URLs very hard to discover.

It's not known at the moment how (or even if it is possible ...) to parse the website and discover the video URLs.

Any ideas gratefully accepted, though.

Hmm ... this might not be possible ... it appears that all handshaking/video requests etc are done via the flash app which is playing in the browser ...
