Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I can't download a replay of the "Danse avec les stars" show from tf1.fr. It used to work well, I guess they changed their site.

[midas02]

Just FYI, works fine for me with version 2016.10.19. I suggest you try again, maybe TF1 changed something to their video.

It has nothing to do with versions. It was an intermittent server-side issue.
