Description

Downloading from 6play doesn't seem to work, due to "Failed to download m3u8 information: HTTP Error 404: Not Found" errors. It seems the site was recently updated, as sub-titles were not available for a while, but now they re-appear.

May I ask why this ticket was closed? The site seems to be from the official company and is streamed for free. It also appears in the list of supported site.

It seems to me there might have been a change in their m3u8 link pattern, as seen in #15248.
