Comedy Central @Midnight no longer working

[augur42]

Two different sets of errors, I was completely unable to get the January 11th episode to play in any browser. I was able to get the January 12th episode to play in a browser using a vpn. I was able to download both episodes using jdownloader2 beta.

I initially tried an older version 2016.1.1.0 and when that failed updated to latest windows exe.

can you check again, may be it's a temporary error.

Embarrassingly it must have been a temporary error, I know I am geoblocked on the main page but I can usually manage to get the stream from the cdn servers. I tried over a period of a few hours, guess I should have left it even longer. Interesting that jdownloader2 worked, I guess it uses a different method of parsing. I prefer youtube-dl as I can get subs.

At the time I thought it might be related to the mtv issue #8169 guess not.

Apologies for wasting whomever's time, and thanks remitamine for the quick response.
