Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Adultswim videos won't work in browser when you're region blocked. However - manually downloading m3u8 file and decoding AES-128 stuff results in perfectly valid file link that downloads just fine.

That is blocked is the XML file contents (file that contain info about subtitles etc).

This is causing youtube-dl to fail to download the video or list the subs. But I can list video formats.

I'd be nice if I could somehow instruct youtube-dl to skip downloading subs and video info and just follow to video file download.

I don't know if that should be counted as feature request (because it probably require a new cli option) or a bug report (because video that should be downloaded can't be downloaded), so I marked "Other"

Edit:
Okay, I just realized that simple --geo-bypass-country us allows download. Still what I wrote can be useful.
