Error: Couldn't find media_id

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).

Check for updates by running: ./get_flash_videos --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or
contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/
make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.
Couldn't download any videos.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
get-flash-videos seems to have problem finding the video.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
App-get_flash_videos-1.24.20130320

Please provide any additional information below.
Running on Mac OS X 10.9 - 16 GB Mem.

You can get the same video from here:

http://video.pbs.org/video/2365124284/

However, more changes to the plugin will be needed to get the video ID and 
follow the links to the PBS video.pbs.org site.
