Many content providers using Flash-based players will go to great lengths to hide the actual stream URLs (using a Flash-based player being the first length).

While it can be difficult-to-impossible to extract the stream from player markup and scripts, it's generally possible to figure it out using a network sniffer. You can use general purpose tools for this, or something more specialized such as "URL Snooper".

If the provider is using an odd protocol or codec, the stream may not ultimately be usable, but at least you'll know whether or not that's the case.
