Question

So Paramount Network is reporting that video not found. It now says the same thing on the video image (this is new). If I click it, log in with my provider it plays. So then I opened up the chrome dev tools and grabbed the m3u8 string and that gives me a different error. This all worked fine 2 weeks ago using youtube-dl with no work around.

Error output:

Couple last things... Yes my provider isn't officially supported but someone helped me a while ago write the code for it to work. I maintain it and add it back in every time a new release is added. Also
if the command looks odd, it's because I have an alias setup. (alias youtube-dl-abb='/root/youtube-dl-master/bin/youtube-dl --hls-prefer-native --ap-mso auth_atlanticbb_net --ap-username xxxxx --ap-password xxxxx'

Thanks for any input.

@dstftw can you provide any details? Is the site the issue?

@dstftw Site is no longer saying that the videos are unavailable, but still getting the same error.
