Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

As far as I know the National Geographic URL scheme changed and the actual extractor no longer works.

So there's a need to update the extractor to the actual URL scheme.

Unfortunatelly I am not proficient in Python, but I can provide login credentials and support (whatever that may be), just contact me please.

And, I did see a related issue but since that was unclear and I needed to emphasize being able to provide the login credentials I decided to open a new issue with more details.

Here's a excerpt from the original current extractor code:

class NationalGeographicIE(ThePlatformIE, AdobePassIE):
    IE_NAME = 'natgeo'
    _VALID_URL = r'https?://channel\.nationalgeographic\.com/(?:(?:(?:wild/)?[^/]+/)?(?:videos|episodes)|u)/(?P<id>[^/?]+)'

    _TESTS = [
        {
            'url': 'http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/u/kdi9Ld0PN2molUUIMSBGxoeDhD729KRjQcnxtetilWPMevo8ZwUBIDuPR0Q3D2LVaTsk0MPRkRWDB8ZhqWVeyoxfsZZm36yRp1j-zPfsHEyI_EgAeFY/',
            'md5': '518c9aa655686cf81493af5cc21e2a04',
            'info_dict': {
                'id': 'vKInpacll2pC',
                'ext': 'mp4',
                'title': 'Uncovering a Universal Knowledge',
                'description': 'md5:1a89148475bf931b3661fcd6ddb2ae3a',
                'timestamp': 1458680907,
                'upload_date': '20160322',
                'uploader': 'NEWA-FNG-NGTV',
            },
            'add_ie': ['ThePlatform'],

And here's a sample from the current URL scheme found on National Geographic:
