Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The issue is provided above. Fails to download. I do know that MSO was recently added, so isssues may occur, but I'm hoping someone can work on this.

[spookyahell]

Once again I can give someone by email account data needed for logging in

[SkiTheSlicer]

Is this still an issue? The listed video is no longer available, but I was able to download this comparable video successfully with my Verizon account: http://watchdisneychannel.go.com/liv-and-maddie/video/vdka3441772/04/03-scarearooney

[spookyahell]

Yeah it is. I can't download that video or get format info yet.... hmm... I wonder why it's so different...

[SkiTheSlicer]

I am running a version with pull request #14363 in place that I submitted earlier today, so that could be the difference.

[spookyahell]

Yes it could... it probably is... if that works that would be totally awesome, does mean that change will apply to the next version?

[SkiTheSlicer]

As long as the pull request gets approved, it would be included in the version following its approval. Just to be sure, are you able to log into the Disney Channel website with your Verizon account with a browser to watch the video to confirm that your subscription actually includes that site/video?

[spookyahell]

Yes I tried it. It works... I've tried your's as I saw your message and I also watched some other shows from that site earlier today that can only be watched with that subscription...

[spookyahell]

This issue is now resolved.. thank you very much @SkiTheSlicer !
