Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Since parent network that operated AsianCrush absorbed into what's now Cineverse, the extractor appears to be broken and falls back to the generic extractor, based on what I found with Retrocrush, one of the extractor's supported websites.
Anyone willing to look at this issue?

Which website isn't working? Asiancrush or retrocrush? Also, before I visit that website, is it NSFW?

Which website isn't working? Asiancrush or retrocrush? Also, before I visit that website, is it NSFW?

The videos linked weren't NSFW. There's some work-unsafe titles on Retrocrush, but most are gated behind a paid membership.
Retrocrush used the same extractor Asiancrush did (feel free to reference the extractor asiancrush.py to confirm that), back when it worked, and I noticed issues there quite recently.

Here's two examples from Asiancrush if you'd rather check there.

looks like they got bought and the new owner migrated everything onto their platform

they run quite a few sites, https://www.cineverse.com seems to be the main everything-is-here one, and asiancrush retrocrush etc offer subsets of it
its all the same software so one extractor should work fine for all of them
