I am planning to write a plugin for abc.com (US).
The individual video episode page for all of the shows for abc shows a "You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories."
But the actual RTMP videos are not geolocked. So, now the trick is how to deduce the RTMP URL. Looking at the the code for ABC module from get-flash-videos, this is possible (for now) by looking at the thumbnail URL.
If anyone else is adventurous enough, here is the plan (do let me know if you begin before me):

- Look at the thumbnail URL for each episode and convert it to RTMP
