I do not have such an account, so cannot compare with what you're getting o=
n=20
your system.  However, I have had success using rtmpdump and friends in the=

past with various flash videos, as well as youtube-dl.  I do fear though th=
at=20
DRM may screw things up, so YMMV.

This is how you can try intercepting the stream with rtmpsrv.  Run as root:

  iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j REDIRECT

  rtmpsrv

then try to play the video with Firefox, accepting cookies, etc.  At some=20
point if rtmpsrv is successful it will print on the terminal a very long UR=
L. =20
Ctrl+c to stop rtmpsrv, then remove the redirect rule:

  iptables -t nat -D OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -j REDIRECT

and run as a plain user:

  rtmpdump <URL>

If the stream URL was captured successfully you should be able to download =
it.


youtube-dl has a number of extractors some of which may work with amazons=20
implementation.  Run 'youtube-dl --list-extractors' to list them.

HTH.
