Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

So the latest update solved the geo-location issue of hotstar, many many thanks. but now, when I want to download a single video, it begins download from the latest episode. suppose there are 62 episodes of a series, when i give link to 58th episode, it begins from 62, then 61 etc... don't know its a bug or not, but please have a look into it. thanks.
