Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

It seems like youtube-dl is 403ing on every video I throw at it, even at previously compatible videos.

E.g. https://www.vlive.tv/video/116207 or https://www.vlive.tv/video/116204

EDIT: When I remove the --all-subs param, it still doesn't work.
