Hi, its about safaribooks, two days back was able to download video using youtube-dl, since yesterday - nothing. Credentials verified, twice. Thanks much

Sir, I am having the same issue as well. I was using youtube-dl to access the content from safaribooksonline. The same username and password have been successfully used to login to its website. So, there are no issue with the credential, by right.I have attached an image of the error message. Please
