Description
Adding support for login to TVNow with username and password. It seems that not all videos which need an account are DRM protected. So the DRM verification should be combined with a login capability.
Check links like this:
https://www.tvnow.de/shows/das-strafgericht-10731
https://www.tvnow.de/serien/das-strafgericht-28
These links result in different output of youtube-dl.
First link
Second Link
I'm having the hope that the first link simply doesn't work due to the missing login. The second link seems to have a correct DRM detection (never got an error like this. So I'm not sure if these 403 errors are normal in this case). They simply seem to make money with the premium account by allowing watching stuff on mobile devices. There is stuff you can't watch on an iPad, but download it with youtube-dl (e.g. this: https://www.tvnow.de/shows/das-jugendgericht-10730). They simply seem to detect an mobile device with JavaScript and only allow the app. So I'm not sure whether the fact you need to login automatically makes stuff undownloadable.
So it would be nice to check if a login feature could get more stuff.
Best Regards
