any idea?

for me nowtv fails with:

ERROR: Unsupported URL: http://www.nowtv.at/vox/mein-himmlisches-hotel/jahr/2015/11/gruppe-stadt-vs-land-tag-5-finale/

Is it because I'm with an Austrian IP? Changing the .at in the URL to .de just redirects to the .at URL ...

[AndroKev]

@p-s-
that the correct url: http://www.nowtv.at/vox/mein-himmlisches-hotel/gruppe-stadt-vs-land-tag-5-finale/player

[p-s-]

@AndroKev Oh wow! Yes! Thank You for helping a newbie! : )
