Hello from Europe :-)
The streaming method currently employed by the CBS online player is
AdobeHDS with Flash Access DRM encryption.
FRD does support AdobeHDS (HTTP protocol), however Flash Access
DRM protection (recently updated to "Adobe Primetime") has not been
reverse-engineered and is uncrackable, thus not supported.
The CBS plugin of FRD is based on the previous infrastructure of
the CBS online player, which involves streaming un-encrypted (DRM-free)
content via the RTMPE protocol - this RTMPE infrastructure continues to
co-exist in the background, BUT IT IS NOT USED IN YOUR BROWSER.
No-one knows when it will be completely retired, which will signify the "death"
of the CBS plugin...
The .smil file mentioned by tong2shot is part of this infrastructure
and is used to reveal the RTMPE stream details; it's not something
you can now find by examining your browser's web traffic, 'cos,
as already said, the flash plugin of your browser uses another
streaming technique...
I haven't checked myself, but
"cbsent-vh.akamaihd.net"
must be the host of the AdobeHDS manifest files (.f4m)
and/or the host of the fragmented (& encrypted) .f4f files...:S
To conclude, just because you are able to get a HD (720p)
stream in your browser via AdobeHDS does not
necessarily mean that an equivalent HD file has been made
available via RTMPE, for FRD to grab...
