Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Last night NatGeo website went under maintenance and today when I try to download something, this error appears. Can someone confirm?
Visually nothing changed in the website...

Man that was fast, thank you very much sir!

[remitamine]

the fix will only work for free video, will try to fix videos that require Adobe Pass authentication later.

Right, I really appreciate the time and effort! Please let me know if I can support you in any way...
