Since the ABC iView update, programmes from the site can no longer be downloaded. As I was unsure if I was using the most recent version I checked using youtube-dl -U and it updated. Tried again using the same link (which works fine on the webpage), and it has the messages "WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor." and "ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/danis-house/series/2/video/ZX0839A011S00" (The file I attempted to download, other earlier episodes of the same show downloaded fine with the old website before the update.)
The last thread on this issue was closed when someone joining the thread was using an outdated version, but the original poster was not and the issue was not solved. Is there any way to solve this given the new site?
I am new to coding to may be doing something wrong, but brought it up as someone previously mentioned a problem and feel from the errors that it is the site causing the problem and not any coding mistakes.
Can attach screenshots later if needed as I don't know how to copy and paste the code I received into here due to lack of coding experience.

Why has this been labelled invalid? There is yet to be a solution to the problem.
I put that someone else was using an outdated version, as I made sure mine was up to date before posting so as to ensure the issue hadn't been resolved in an update. My version is up to date as it updated itself.

There is no problem in the first place. You are using an outdated version.
If you "think" you are using the latest version bother to read issue template and prove that.
