Hey, Folks!

I was in the middle, of downloading a series of dorumentaries, first two worked like charms, at the third I got an error.
Then I got an error on everything, that I attempted.
So, I connected to a remote machine, and got the same error there.

As you can see from the verbose protocol, Youtube-dl is up to date.
This is the verbose output:

As stated, the error appears with whatever you attempt to download from that site.
They must have changed something today around 19:30 CET.

These documentaries will be available only 4 more days.
I'd therefore be very grateful, if you could fix the problem swiftly.

My appreciation in advance, and yours, Claus
