Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Attempting download from science channel.com using Adobe Pass results in a 403 Forbidden.

I included --print-traffic to see where exactly the 403 was originating from and that output is included in the log paste.

If I've missed something obvious in my post please accept my apologies in advance.

Thank you

Hello friend, currently the AdobePass option isn't working for discovery network channels or national geographic.

Use COOKIES instead, for that you'll need to download a browser extension called "cookies.txt" then, you'll log with your credentials on the science channel as usual, then click in the extension and click in download all cookies. Then save the cookies.txt file in the folder you're going to run youtube-dl. In the youtube-dl command-line add the parameter --cookies then reference the cookies by putting cookies.txt in front of the parameter and be good to go.

example:youtube-dl --cookies cookies.txt <your link>

That way you'll be able to download up to 3 episodes each time, then you'll have to refresh the page and download your cookies again replacing the old one.

Don't forget to close the issue.
