The first two episodes -- not protected -- downloaded just fine.
The cookie file used was generated by logging into the site through dish.

So, this is a login-related issue. I am providing the login cookies. Still not working. Help please.

(Search oddity: A search for 'disneyxd' returns no hits??? Clearly my searching was a failure.)

[keybounce]

Ok, so searching for "Disney XD" with a space turns up several hits for disney and references to XD. Real sadface: I authored most of them :-)

Good news: The unprotected ones now download (a few months ago, those did not).
Bad news: Is there any way to use adobe flash cookies with youtube-dl?

This happens to me also! O_O #FixBugPlease
