Youtube-dl is my approach to avoid viewing  videos  in  the  web-
browser,  which IMO simply isn't the right program for that.  IMO
there is no difference between Flash and HTML5  with  respect  to
this problem. Youtube-dl is not the approach I'd like to see, but
it's the best approach I know in the current world.

Today, finally, I noticed that it can access  the  Mediatheks  of
several german TV stations as well.

While being on the topic, I wrote a small shell script  to  watch
the ARTE live stream:

     host="rtmp://artestras.fc.llnwd.net"
     path="artestras/s_artestras_scst_geoFRDE_de"
     query="s=1320220800&h=878865258ebb8eaa437b99c3c7598998"
     url="$host/$path?$query"

     rtmpdump -v -r "$url" | mplayer -

Automate!
