Here's what I tried and the result I got:

Downloading free videos works fine, but I can<t manage to download restricted video, I tried to log in like this:

C:\youtube-dl.exe -o "C:\test.mp4" -u mysecretmail@x.com -p mysecretpass -f "(mp4,webm)bestvideo[height<=2160]+bestaudio/best[height<=2160]" http://ici.tou.tv/catherine/S01E01?lectureauto=1
[tou.tv] catherine/S01E01: Downloading JSON metadata

ERROR: radiocanada said: Le contenu sélectionné est  disponible seulement en premium

I then tried login in in chrome, exporting cookies and using them, but still no luck:

C:\youtube-dl.exe -o "C:\test.mp4" --cookies "C:\cookies.txt" -f "(mp4,webm)bestvideo[height<=2160]+bestaudio/best[height<=2160]" http://ici.tou.tv/catherine/S01E01?lectureauto=1

Someone has an idea how I could manage to download "premium" content?

I found youtube-dl only this morning so I'm sorry if I'm not asking support the right way.

I just saw the "account-needed", I could provide my account info if it is needed.

[remitamine]

if you want me to work on it, you can contact me at remitamine[at]gmail[dot]com.

will be supported in the next version.

running version 2016.06.25 on Debian seems to be broken now, i also have a premium account if you need.
