Until the plugin is fixed, you can

1. On Mozilla Firefox install the following addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/el/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/
2. Make sure you have the Adobe Flash NPAPI plugin installed in your system and enabled in Firefox
3. Load your sample URL in Firefox, make sure that the "Flash Version 26" flavour of the JW Player is loaded.
4. Press play; you should be served AppleHLS streams that the addon you installed should be able to pick up.
5. Of the variants playlists picked up, select the master one; it should look like this:
https://ga.video.cdn.pbs.org/videos/newshour/1d6a1637-6e45-4db3-a44e-98601be311be/2000003474/hd-16x9-mezzanine-1080p/no0l37a2_20170811_fullshow-16x9-720p.m3u8
6. If you're after a 1080p encode, change the previous playlist to:
https://ga.video.cdn.pbs.org/videos/newshour/1d6a1637-6e45-4db3-a44e-98601be311be/2000003474/hd-16x9-mezzanine-1080p/no0l37a2_20170811_fullshow-16x9-1080p.m3u8
7. Use streamlink to download:
Language: XML
streamlink -o "PBS_NewsHour_Aug11_2017_1080p.ts" "hlsvariant://https://ga.video.cdn.pbs.org/videos/newshour/1d6a1637-6e45-4db3-a44e-98601be311be/2000003474/hd-16x9-mezzanine-1080p/no0l37a2_20170811_fullshow-16x9-1080p.m3u8 name_key=bitrate" best
