Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

1, I've used 51.15.121.195:3128 (which is a French proxy I've found on http://spys.one/free-proxy-list/FR/) to bypass the geo-blocking on https://www.6play.fr, but it might expire so please replace it with any French proxy you know that works.

2, The following video is available online but it requires you to log in to the 6play site with your Gmail credential:
https://www.6play.fr/legends-p_5814/saison-1-episode-1-c_11566636
So please could you replace the email address after "--username" with your actual Gmail address for the test..

Btw, after this issue has been fixed, for some reasons may I ask for a portable .exe file for windows: youtube-dl.exe instead of a package of python scripts which requires installation? Or could you please tell me how I can run these scripts in my Windows OS at workspace without any additional authorization? I don't think busybox would do the trick, true?

Thank you!
