Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Looking to get https://www.hoopladigital.com added. Seems the videos are actually hosted on cloudfront.net, but whenever I download them via other means the files seem to come in all corrupt.

Hoopla does require authentication to watch, and I can provide these credentials to anyone who is interested in tackling this. Just PM me.

This would be a great feature.

Was searching for a way to do this very thing. If this hasn't been implemented yet would you please consider it? I would also really like to see hoopla added.

@level42ca youtube-dl can download your Cloudfront link, but the resultant file is DRM-protected (I think encrypted with HTML5's EME), not corrupt. Are you requesting that youtube-dl strip the DRM?

[Geremia]

@level42ca Also, Bento4 (website, GitHub repo) has a mp4decrypt command could decrypt the MP4 using some key which youtube-dl could probably find.

[iconoclasthero]

Is there a way to get that key?
