Can confirm problem with youtube-dl 2018.03.20. I'm also getting the warning: "Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden". I tried a remix with rtmpdump and got this response: Could this be a geo-blocking change ? |

It's exactly THAT! The ITV Hub people are now playing hard ball...
"Techie" details: With the (legacy) RTMPE (Flash) streams, there's only a soft geo-block on the Playlist (stream data) acquisition URL: i.e. only the RTMPE streams are detected; on my setup/location, I have no issues fetching the best RTMPE stream (-f=rtmp-1800 - uses a DIRECT connection): You appear to be on a Mac; what exactly do you mean by
Me thinks your issue lies in a deficient RTMPDump binary and/or your connection settings; remember, for RTMP streams you need default port 1935 open! Find/compile a new RTMPDump MacOS binary and retry; sorry I can't help, no Macs here... Apart from the legacy RTMPE streams, ITV also provide new encrypted MPEG-DASH streams (for desktop browsers) and encrypted AppleHLS streams (for iDevices); the former are of no use to yt-dl, because common encryption (cenc) hasn't been broken; the latter use AES-128 encryption, that yt-dl/FFmpeg can cope with... The new streams employ a new playlist API service: TL;DR
In the case of ITV shows lacking downloadable RTMPE streams (like the OP's e.g. using a UK VPN, @section83's show now yields: (notice how the HLS streams now appear) and @HellerCat's one now includes downloadable HLS streams: |

Many thanks for all that. I'm happy not to work around geo-blocking so, I'll leave things as they are.
That was just a brain fade - I meant "remuxing" but Apple Safari auto-corrected it and I wasn't remuxing anyway. |

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
Hi all, I am no longer able to record items from ITV Hub. For example, https://www.itv.com/hub/action-team/2a5066a0004. I was able to record them last week, but the log file says "No video formats found".
I upgraded to youtube-dl 2018.03.20 in the last few days. Unfortunately, I cannot remember if I have been able to record anything on ITV Hub with this version.
I hope I have filled in issue form correctly and that my issue is clear. If not please let me know.
Many Thanks
