Before a new release arrives, you can clone this repo and run python setup.py py2exe.

[dare2]

The new release is now available. I just updated to 2017.02.16

AMC works fine now.

[dwaderich]

thanks all for resolving the issue

[miztertea]

Is it possible to adjust the extractor to support wetv.com? It is an AMC network.

[dstftw]

wetv is already supported.
