### Description of your *issue*, suggested solution and other information
After skimming through the funimation.py i think it's failing on this: `https://prod-api-funimationnow.dadcdigital.com/api/source/catalog/video/{playerid here}/signed/` (they probably got rid of this api endpoint)
Would be nice if this could be fixed! (If Account Credentials are needed let me know)

Additional Info:
- I'm using the latest versions of youtube-dl, ffmpeg & python
- I tried multiple Urls as well as the ones listed in the TESTS Section
- I have a valid Premium Account and no problems accessing the content via browser
