Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Authorizing through DIRECTV NOW to Adobe Pass-powered websites no longer works. Apparently the authorization schema has been changed. The error message also appeared in the browser, but disappeared after a relogin.

Problem is that the login page differs depending on which network you're trying to download from. I made an additional commit which I thought had fixed it, but apparently it didn't. I'll take another look as soon as I have a subscription again.

Any update on this?

[ngdio]

If somebody can provide me with login data, I can still try to fix this. I basically had the fix already, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

[jasonkingsley]

@ngdio I have login data for Directv and would like to work with you in getting this working. Can you email me: klexen@gmail.com or Discord: klexen#5580

Thank you!

I'm still having this issue with version 2019.11.05
