• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.02.10
• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
• Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I'd like to request for funimationnow.uk please, thank you.

I got an almost blank page on https://www.funimationnow.uk/shows/akibas-trip-the-animation/akibas-first-trip/. Is the video still available? Or maybe it's limited to UK?

[BridgeUK]

It's working on this end, yeah I think it's limited to the UK.

[yan12125]

Got it. I set "cant-reproduce" first as I am unable to play the video

[kaithar]

I'd rather like support for this site... what information do you need?

[yan12125]

Just got an UK proxy and I can finally see a video on https://www.funimationnow.uk/shows/akibas-trip-the-animation/akibas-first-trip/. However, it's restricted:

This video contains mature content.
To continue, log in or create an account.

If would be great if there's another video available to everyone.

[kaithar]

Okie, how about this one?

Public non-nsfw :)

[yan12125]

Thanks. That's a big help.

Could you also take a look at #11773 and kill 2 birds with 1 stone? I don't have a UK proxy to compare the sites but since they are both funimation, they should work the same.

[yan12125]

Thanks for the information. Yep they look the same. funimation.com is redirected to funimationnow.uk with UK proxies, and the UK URL is redirected to funimation.com with US proxies. I guess they are identical, so I'd like to merge the two requests. For further discussions, please move to #11773
