Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I checked the supported websites on youtube-dl webpage and NowVideo is reported as supported but I'm still having troubles downloading from it. I think this is caused by a possible nowvideo mirror that isn't recognized by youtube-dl. Regarding the video itself I'm trying to download, it's a video previously hosted on my national tv web streaming website and later vanished from it. Since the website itself is supported by youtube-dl there should be no problem whatsoever with this website support request or so I think. Just wanted to make the source of the video clear here in the description of the issue.

Regarding the website itself I think it's kind of sketchy and full of ads (I'm using an adblock and I think you should do the same in case you are going to visit the url when checking it out. I also tried registering but it fails to redirect to a proper registration prompt. I don't know if this is an issue with mirrored websites or if the website itself is just using nowvideo name to get web traffic but the video itself works.
