Not download do not start from RaiPlay

[luketouch]

I had the same issue, same website, different video, no account needed, no geolocation problem for italian ip (maybe if your ip is outside Italy you may have problem).
Today, after i downloaded the new updated version, i try to download a video but i got the same error.

Thank you in advance,
Luke

Hello fabio1962, fabio1962 writes:

In the meantime, applying the patch from pull request #23040 should do the trick!

[fabio1962]

thanks for the answer but I only have the executable for windows and then I don't know what to do

[D4v3R4v3]

Same problem like @fabio1962 . How can I apply the mentioned patch above?

[fabio1962]

I was hoping that with the last update (youtube-dl 2019.11.22) the problem with raiplay had been solved ....
