[http://ldt.iri.centrepompidou.fr] JW Player with content preventing HEAD method

[cregouby]

Hello,
JW player used in this Mooc site seems to prevent the HEAD method to succeed (403 forbidden) in the sequence of youtube-dl downloading the video.
Using Google-chrome & the JW player doesn't give the 403 problem and succeed playing the rtmp stream with Wireshark see frames RTMP onStatus('NetStream.Play.Start') with
Property 'description' String 'Started playing video/ldtplatform/upload/cours_ic01/cours2.mp4.' (I don't know if it helps)
Could you please help to solve it ?
Thanks a lot !
Christophe

Note that you have to quote the url, otherwise youtube-dl only gets part of it (that's why you get the 403 Forbidden error).

But even with the full url it fails, so we'll have to add support for it.

Thanks for your support jaimeMF !

Hello JaimeMF.
Error on my side : a variable 'project_id' was missing in the url is missing and lead to the 403.
Adding that variable, I get an "unSupported Error: unsupported URL"
I will close this one and reoppen a proper issue for that
Thanks anyway
