flashgot was graping links perfectly from a site using the JW Player, but they updated to version 6.12, now flashgot its not picking them up anymore
what can i do?

URL to sites(s) that use this player?
(Thinking more apt to be a change in their delivery method, RTMP, or web page code, obfuscating the links.)

its behind login and pass, the site does not have video outside the protected area that can be tested with, I can provide a pc with team viewer for developer to test, the jw plugin is from www.jwplayer.com, its the premium version

edit: on this link the player works with flashgot http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/po ... -video-ads but that is the ads version, the premium version is the one that wont work and the site streams the videos, the old version streamed the videos also, so it was slow, very slow , the only way i could watch is grab the videos with flash got then download, then watch

with the new 6.12 version of jw i cant download anymore, if i save page html with the video on it as html and send it would it help?

Having the HTML source won't hurt, although it's of little help. What would help greatly is:
0) Install Live HTTP Headers or anything that can capture HTTP requests made by the browser.
1) Switch the Flash plugin to the Ask/Click to Activate mode.
2) Load the video page.
3) Start the HTTP request logger. (In Live HTTP Headers, check all the checkboxes on the Generator tab.)
4) Activate the Flash plugin (click the placeholder or use the icon in the location bar).
5) Wait for the video to start playing, stop the logger, save the log to a file. (In Live HTTP Headers, save both Headers and Generator tabs.)
6) Before posting the log, remove all the Authorization, Cookie and Set-Cookie headers from it (it's one header per line, e.g. Cookie: a=b; xyz=123).

Flashgot has stopped working for Shooshtime, for example, which is using JW Player 6.12.xxxx. Is this going to a permanent problem?

Without looking too closely, it seems they stream with RTMP, which FlashGot does not see.
But, they also give you a separate download link, just below the video, that looked to work.
