Youtube-dl fails to download videos from foxsports.com, see the errors from command line output. This is a BUG report since foxsports.com is a supported site. These are public videos available from their website. I currently use youtube-dl to successfully download videos from other supported sites without any problems.

Just checking to see if this request is still in the queue.

[PhilWinger]

I just upgraded to latest version (10/29/2018) and I am still getting the same problem.

[PhilWinger]

Is FoxSports still a supported host?

[PhilWinger]

Does anybody even read these bug reports?
