Can you watch it in browser in the first place?

[JamesTheAwesomeDude]

@dstftw Yes, I am a resident of the U.S. (the only/main country likely to be supported by this section of the website, if any geo-restrictions are in place), and a Windows rig I have running on this IP is capable of successfully streaming the videos in-browser.

[JamesTheAwesomeDude]

ALSO, just as a sanity check, I tried downloading and running YouTube-DL with that URL on the Windows rig, and (after acquiring an FFMPEG executable) received the exact same error (403, emitted by ffmpeg).

[remitamine]

it works only using hls native downloader.
try to install pycrypto and add --hls-prefer-native to the command.

[JamesTheAwesomeDude]

@remitamine YES! Installing pycrypto and adding the flag --hls-prefer-native fixed it.

I'm hesitant to close this immediately, though—perhaps some information ought to be added to the wiki or even the debugging output on the necessity of this library for certain websites?

[remitamine]

for turner network websites it might be possible to make it work using ffmpeg.
