Description

When trying to download from Paramount+, I get the "could not find XML element title" error message. I checked several episodes, including ones that were previously downloaded successfully, with the same result.

The "could not find XML element title" error means CBS added DRM to the video. First DRM was only applied to movies, then they added it to recently aired TV episodes, and now it seems they are slowly adding DRM to everything including the Nick shows.
