(NB: In both cases, there are more episodes on Junior/XD, so fetching from there is preferable anyways.)

[dstftw]

Dish MSO is not supported.

[gkoelln]

@dstftw, he's using #12000. I get the same results when I use my MSO from #12641.

[keybounce]

Yea, the dish access works really really well. Only place it doesn't work is Science Channel :-) .

[gkoelln]

It appears to be an issue with the site. If I look at the playlist gathered and replace the URLs (watchdisneyjunior with watchdisneychannel), they come up in the browser.
