Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

As of today, I am no longer able to download full episodes of the CBS Evening News from cbsnews.com, which were working fine as of a few days ago.

Youtube-dl instructed me to "please report this issue on yt-dl.org/bug", so I am complying! :)
