Description

Please consider including support for this AT&T tech video repository.

There was a previous issue on this, issue #3938, closed as "fixed in youtube-dl 2015.01.10.1 and newer".

I note that some of their videos are also on YT itself, including this one, so this may not be necessary; I don't know if all of their videos are mirrored on YT.

thanks very much indeed.
