Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
I have been using youtube-dl on nbcsports.com for a couple of years but began having problems around October/November 2019. There was an similar problem (#16640) from 2018 so I added to that issue, even though it was working for me thru Oct/Nov 2019. I have been updating that issue with questions but it appears that no one is reviewing these old issues. With no feedback, I have decided to open a new issue. Thanks.

Then can someone take a look at the duplicate? I've been commenting on that one since November. Thanks

[PhilWinger]

I've been commenting on the other issue since November, asking questions if I should open another one, etc. and no response.  I've had no indications that anyone was even reading the messages, much less addressing the reported issue.  I finally open a new issue and it gets closed in a matter of minutes. Can someone confirm that the other issue is even being addressed?
