UnsupportedError - www.foxsports.com/ videos

[MaryCoding]

Hi, Youtubedl failed to download a video from http://www.foxsports.com/. They currently use the http://link.theplatform.com to host their videos. I tried doing two tests: directly download from theplatform video host and from the foxsport video link. Below are the results:

Edit: here is an xml of their platform video feed http://feed.theplatform.com/f/BKQ29B/fs-mobile-all?byCustomValue={primary}{nba}&sort=pubDate|desc

Hi guys, I know you are extremely busy. Could someone point a diagnostic of why this is not working even though it uses the supported linkplatform link? Thank you.

Will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for the report.
