Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

youtube-dl encounters a 404 Not Found when attempting to download a specific TVLand Impastor link.

[mcerdeira]

Could this be related to Geo restrictions? (here from Argentina I can't watch the video from the site) Just a thought...

[arcanez]

the rest of the episodes work fine.

[gkoelln]

When I go through a browser, it prompts for sign in. (Unfortunately, Dish isn't a valid provider, or I would test it.)

[arcanez]

@gkoelln it's just odd because I have no issues with the rest of the links.

[yan12125]

I got 404 in Firefox, even with a US proxy. @gkoelln @arcanez Maybe it's geo-restricted? Which country are you in?

[gkoelln]

I'm in the US and I'm now getting a 404 as well. I guess the video was taken down.

[gkoelln]

Now it looks like only Season 1, Episodes 1-10 are available.

[yan12125]

Thanks for the feedback.

the rest of the episodes work fine.

This issue can be closed as the problematic video is gone. If there's another video that works in browsers but not in youtube-dl, feel free to open new issues.
