Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The site VVVVID is in the list of supported sites but I can't download from it.
But seems that it's not supported anymore.

Could this issue be solved?

[federicorosso1993]

I was able to download
https://www.vvvvid.it/#!show/236/cowboy-bebop/226/464834/asteroid-blues
with youtube-dl.

[ppoe6]

In the URL posted by federicorosso1993 there's written ".../#!show/..." and it works fine with YouTube-dl but when I open a video on vvvvid, in the URL there's ".../#!channel/…" and it doesn't work.

Can anyone try to download from these URL?

[federicorosso1993]

I'm not from the development team... but why do you want to use that kind of link? If you go on the vvvvid page and click on the link of the episode you will get the right link with the !show.

where do you find links? Maybe you are using old links because even the main show page of cowboy bebop is something link this
https://www.vvvvid.it/#!show/236/cowboy-bebop

I don't even know where you found questo sono le tute spaziali del futuro because it's not in the anime, show and film section (there are no show that start with q).

[gfabiano]

I had a look to the source code. For now channels are not supported, only shows. In these days I'll try to add this feauture.

I've noticed that videos with "!channel" are old videos I've saved on my profile.
They're still visible on VVVVID but I can't find the "!show" version for some of them.
