This is my first time using youtube-dl. I'm trying to download a video from ABC iview (using the steps shown in this tutorial video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKe9rV-gl1c), but, I get the error message "ERROR: Unsupported URL".
The video I'm trying to download is https://iview.abc.net.au/show/christmas-with-poh
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
