It appears that a valid test for Playvid is:

https://www.playvids.com/v/42sBOHAuwaG doesn't follow suit with that. Is this an alternative domain name for them?

Well seems playvids.com is different from playvid.com. By the way, playvids.com always displays a blank page here. Is this website still working?

Yep, playvids still works. Loads an encapsulated flash streamer; you can probably get the files by parsing the video_url argument of the flash player; it seems to take seriously long to start downloading, though.

OK I can finally view it with a clean Firefox. However, the original example https://www.playvids.com/v/42sBOHAuwaG looks owned by shooshtime.com. youtube-dl's policy is that websites specializing in copyright infringement will not be supported. Though a logo does not that indicate shooshtime.com is the copyright holder, a safe example is better. Do you have another example?

I am also getting Unsupported URL error

The m4s files seems to be located on userscontent.net domain
I tried http://jdownloader.org and it downloaded the file, though that software is adware.

@slrslr: playvids.com is not going to be supported due to the reason stated in #8042 (comment)
