I agree you cannot download from the URL you reference, but the same video
is downloadable from http://video.pbs.org/program/frontline/

Interesting if that URL works for you because I get the same Error:
Couldn't find media_id although I got get_flash_videos to work with another
URL.

I am using the latest download version from github. Perhaps that is the
difference.

The above is for Windows and Macs only. Also no CLI access.

Do you have an actual issue to report

If so this is not the way to go about things.

You need to supply versions, OS etc, the exact problem so there can be
an attempt to repeat the problem.
