NPO.NL has changed, downloading doesn't work anymore...

[MatrixView]

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.10.29
• At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
• Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

---

It seems NPO.NL has changed their authentication/session-token method. Downloading with Y-DL does not work anymore. Hopefully you can fix it! Thanx a lot in advance!

The urls to the mp4 streams (odis.omroep.nl) are dead. I think they stripped some legacy support.

Mobile and app also use the new auth method.

@dstftw You are correct. ATM I see the old method is working again (I guess NPO must 've had issues/complaints with older app users), but I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a time-bridge to the new method. Which is also working on the site, but not supported yet by YT-DL.

Anyway, thanx a lot. And I'll open a new issue when the time comes only the new auth-method will work.
