Not sure what the issue is but some episodes I am able to download and some episodes return "Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden". Using same IP in browser to view content works fine. This site is Geo locked and requires socks/proxy.

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl 'https://www.hotstar.com/tv/koler-bou/s-2179/torsha-is-worried/1000244044'
