Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE

This is the first time I have had to enter a username/password combo into youtube-dl. From the browser I enter this url followed by username/password and it opens up a media player within the browser. This is the next level url

https://peel.fandom.com/wiki/1978

search for 26 December 1978 and then head to the bottom of that page for the mooo links.

I have tried a few different options with the same results - http and https. Username/password in single/double and no quotes with the same response

Regards

--username and --password only work for specific supported sites and not with the generic extractor.

You can download this file by adding the login credentials at the beginning of the URL and using wget, curl, your browser, etc

$ wget 'http://peel:group@mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/BillfromNorthWales/01 John Peel/1978-12-26 John Peel BBC Radio 1.mp3'

youtube-dl also doesn't work with this kind of URL, by the way:

$ youtube-dl -v 'http://peel:group@mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/BillfromNorthWales/01 John Peel/1978-12-26 John Peel BBC Radio 1.mp3'
