Open the terminal console (F12) then paste the code :

var account = document.querySelector('[data-account]').getAttribute('data-account')
console.log('account:', account)

var video = document.querySelector('[data-video-id]').getAttribute('data-video-id')
console.log('video:', video)

var url = `http://players.brightcove.net/${account}/default_default/index.html?videoId=${video}`
console.log('url:', url)

console.log(`youtube-dl --no-mtime ${url}`)

Then copy in your terminal the last output :

youtube-dl --no-mtime http://players.brightcove.net/1969646226001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6245479903001

Nice feature which does not seems to work at the moment.
Do you have another suggestion ?

The site uses a JS application. It needs you to subscribe before it will send the media links, except possibly for trailers, labelled as non-DRM.

To progress this, please find one or more example shows that can be played in the browser with DRM disabled: please report here if there aren't any. Otherwise open a new Site Support Request issue with the example shows and provide a HAR archive showing the browser session until a show starts playing, changing the account password around the session.
