Description

I regularly download General Hospital from Abc.com. This worked fine on 5/6/20, but failed yesterday. I updated to the 5/8/20 release of youtube-dl, but that didn't fix the problem.
Thanks!

I can confirm that #25216 fixes this problem.
Thanks!

I verified the same. Using #25216 I'm able to download shows from abc again.

I use YouTube-DL Gui, so how will i be able to apply the fix?

[magnum32]

Its impossible for me to find the directory for the extractor on my computer. how can i locate it?

Sorry @magnum32 , I don't have any experience with Youtube-DL Gui. I couldn't figure out how to extract and re-compile the Windows executable, I ended up just downloading the source code, making the change myself, and then running the python file to verify the fix.

is there a way that you could post the py files and your youtube-dl config?

[magnum32]

I wonder when this fix will be implemented in the next version of YouTube-DL?

[sftman18]

Closing issue, as the fix in #25216 works for me on the side.
Thanks!

You can go to https://github.com/tmthywynn8/youtube-dl/tree/Fix-issue-%2325207 and click "Clone or Download", then select the "Download Zip" option. This will download all the files you need. Inside the zip will be a "youtube-dl-Fix-issue-25207" folder, and within that folder a "youtube-dl" folder. There is where all the .py files are, you'll need to extract them somewhere. I don't know if or how to use those with YoutTube-DL Gui. To run it manually you would need to ensure you have Python installed, and your path (environment variables) set-up to allow python to work in the command prompt, then you could open a command prompt to that "youtube-dl" folder, then run "python main.py " (that's main surrounded by four underscores, two on each side; replace " including the ankle-braces with your link, e.g. https://abc.com/shows/bless-this-mess/episode-guide/season-02/20-tornado-season-part-two ).

Thank you!!! One video managed to download from ABC without even applying this fix here is the link, https://abc.com/shows/the-view/episode-guide/2020-04/15-the-view-415 but it downloaded a Taylor Swift concert instead! Whats odd is that when you click on the link for the concert itself https://abc.com/movies-and-specials/taylor-swift-city-of-lover-concert it shows this following error "ERROR: This video is only available for users of participating TV providers. Use --ap-mso to specify Adobe Pass Multiple-system operator Identifier and --ap-username and --ap-password or --netrc to provide account credentials."

Another oddity is that this same "The View" link is now downloading an episode of the Conners. No other links from ABC.com currently work in Youtube-dl gui

The link is no longer valid. You're downloading whatever video is showcased on the abc.com homepage.
