@tv21 Evidently I am destined to follow in your footsteps. I am also looking for hallmark ability. Did you ever figure anything out on this?

I am honestly surprised another human out there was looking for the ability to use youtube-dl with the Hallmark Channel. My wife will forever love me if this is possible.
