Noco: unable to authenticate

[ianuxfr]

Noco.tv requires you to subscribe to be able to see the vast majority of the videos. Using --user and --password youtube-dl options doesn't work. Noco plugin only works with free access videos that don't need you to authenticate.

Example output:

Currently, only free noco.tv videos are supported. You can assist by providing an account credentials with paid subscription to get this implemented in youtube-dl asap.

In fact, there are videos that are free to watch but need an account. I think the auth mecanism should be the same for free and paid account-needing videos.
Try this: create an account on noco.tv and then, subscribe to the free Olydri Studio catalogue. You should then be able to see the whole authentication process to access a video.

Noco extractor now supports authentication. This will be available in the next release of youtube-dl. Thanks for the report.

Amazing! Well done!
