The website http://bellator.spike.com/ is unsupported.
This website is part of the Spike/Viacom network and uses the Viacom/MTV/Comedy Central player.
As far as I know the videos are only accessible with a US connection.
I'd much appreciate if someone with experience implementing the MTV extractor applied it to this website.
