Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Please add support for GlobalTV (http://www.globaltv.com/video/). I have found that the streaming involves an m3u8 file but may also require a session key (faxs://). Note that in the above example URLs, the Talk episode will expire within the coming week. The Houdini & Doyle webisode may stay on the website longer. The three example videos I have provided do not require credentials, at least for now. The website contains quite a few older episodes that can be accessed with credentials, if one subscribes to a Canadian cable company and creates a username and password using one's cable account information.
