Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Something has apparently changed with Bravo within the last week. All videos produce this error: "Unable to extract drupal settings."

I get the same result with or without MSO credentials.

[NGTmeaty]

Just made a little fix. Will try to get it in a PR tonight.

[StevenDTX]

Thanks a lot @NGTmeaty!

@jeeribaldi

If you will notice, this issue is still open. @NGTmeaty was kind enough to fix the issue, but until one of the youtube-dl maintainers merges his fixes into a new build, then it will continue to fail.

This issue will get closed once its merged.

@NGTmeaty I'm getting the following error when using your branch. I noticed your test was using a different show. You mind trying this show and see if you get the same error?

Any idea how long it will take this to get merged by the maintainers? How often do bugs get merged? I just came here since I had the same error as above.

[roadzy]

Ok new version pushed and downloaded. Same Error

@NGTmeaty Do you know if your fix made it in to this new release?
