I'm having the same issue. Is there any reason why this bug is in closed state without a comment? I can provide login details if that's the issue.

Below is the verbose log:

@krishnabalajee Youtube-dl doesn't support DRM content downloading. Some videos in SonyLIV are DRM enabled, some aren't. The link you posted above and the OP's links consist of DRM videos. That's why the issue was closed.
