Downloading of videos from iwara.tv is not working anymore.

The last time youtube-dl has worked with that site is 2018-07-18.

youtube-dl --version
2018.07.10

youtube-dl https://www.iwara.tv/videos/daek6sze7gtkemzex

ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 418:

Edit: Nevermind, I fixed my problem. Apparently, I had two parallel installations, one from 2017, so I just deleted the old one and replaced it with the one with dstftw's fix.

Downloading works again, but I think metadata extraction is broken now.
