Hi, since this problem persists, I will jump in. PS C:\WINDOWS> ytdl http://www.cc.com/shows/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah/interviews/i6jzgw/exclusive-richard-dawkins-extended-interview --verbose --dump-pages |
|
Some amplification on the issue: youtube-dl is apparently not recognizing the URL as one it can handle. The same video can sometimes be found at an alternate URL and will download OK. As an example, this fails: However this works: Verbose output (--write-pages file attached): |

All URLs mentioned in this issue will be working fine in the next version. Thanks for the report and sorry for the delayed fix. |
Hi,
When trying to download extended interview segments from The Daily Show website on Comedy Central I get an error about not being able to find a Flash URL. The downloads work fine on other Daily Show videos but not the bonus materials. I saved the error message from the Windows command prompt for you to look over here:

What could be going wrong? The video plays OK, not sure why youtube-dl isn't "seeing" it. I have added the youtube-dl folder to my Path variable, and I have Python installed. Seems to be something on CC's end, but I'm not sure, and would appreciate you looking into it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
