I've been working on a similar tool these past couple of months and to me the difficult part was finding that URL in an automated fashion. For regular videos, the real video URL is right there in the html page. But for music videos, the real URL is hidden behind a series of 3 types of scrambling operations to make it harder to reverse engineer. This algorithm isn't the same for every video, so sometimes there are only 4 steps and sometimes there are more. I think this is what they meant by "protection measures".
