cw is not downloading the correct episodes anymore
any video that you try to get downloads a 30 sec video clip saying update the cw app

there is no error log
if anyone else tries go download a video from any cw series they should also get the video message

I know this might not be too helpful but it's working fine for me. I was able to get the entire episode "Damocles - Part Two" from your link above without issue. I barely know what I'm talking about but my first troubleshooting step would be to try a VPN or different network and see if you still encounter the issue. Beyond that, I'm not sure what could be causing your issue.

yes if you just use that url it will download the last episode but if you put in the url for any of the other 4 episodes it wont download them i will edit the post to stop the confusion

try this video url http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-100/the-warriors-will/?play=d7857786-f312-45d3-a63b-c36ba8401138

that will download the 30 sec video about the cw app same thing happens with other cw shows

I see. You are correct, that does not work.

However, I've had success instead searching for the m3u8 link itself...

youtube-dl https://3aa37dc0e8bb47e08042e0ebb25acb34.dlvr1.net/nosec/The_CW/835/1001/29866565699/The100-510-TheWarriorsWill-T2713560-CW.m3u8 works just fine, for instance.

You can find this link by opening up your Developer Tools and using the Network tab and searching for "m3u8". See screenshot.

hi, thanks for the reply i did look at the tools network tab but its confusing
i am new to understanding streaming links do you know of a more simply way of getting the url that will download the videos?

if not could you please give me the download url for this video in 720p 2100kbps?
