Hello. NBCsports is listed as a supported site. When I try to download a file, such as the following

http://stream.nbcsports.com/nascar/?pid=18366

This comes up,

[generic] index_nbcsn-generic: Requesting header
WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.
[generic] index_nbcsn-generic: Downloading webpage
[generic] index_nbcsn-generic: Extracting information
ERROR: Unsupported URL: http://stream.nbcsports.com/nbcsn/index_nbcsn-generic.ht
ml?pid=18366

Is it maybe because I should be entering a username and password too when I run the command? I have one but I'm not sure if that's what causing this.

No. That's the same streaming delivery that requires cable TV provider.

I do have a provider login and pw and I am able to see the clips.

But just to be confirm with what you stated, it still wouldn't work correct? Thanks.

Ran into this earlier today. Unfortunate that it's being ignored. Any technical reasons preventing this or is it simply misunderstood?

URL: http://stream.nbcsports.com/gold/tour-de-france-stage-17
Cable provider: none; never had one, actually

Sorry to jump onto an old issue, but are there any tricks to get NBC Sports Gold events to download? I have a paid subscription to NBC SG, but can't seem to figure it out even with cable authentication and passing cookies from the browser.
