Description

Mixcloud has generally been working fine for me, but I'm finding a few URLs with this error. Not sure what's unique about it.

On the site I see "sorry, this show is not available in your country", so... probably has to do with that.

I'm in the US, but if I connect via a London-based VPN it works ok. So it would probably repro if you connect from the US.

I tried some of the --geo-bypass settings without luck.

It's fine, I'll just detect the crash in my program and move on.
