Comedy Central broken

i use youtube-dl to watch this show on a regular basis, so this change is new this week. i'm in the US and can view it using flash but not with youtube-dl. just to be sure, i cloned the latest source from github.

here's the output:

The URL you provided redirects to the CC homepage. I looked at the info page of that show and was served the "Sorry, this video is not found or no longer available..." message in browser when trying to view a full episode.

Do you have any examples of working in browser links?

[GravisZro]

hmm... try this link directly in the browser then with youtube-dl. http://www.cc.com/full-episodes/9cme4a/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-march-3--2016---bill-de-blasio-season-21-ep-21072
it's odd because the original video link worked previously.

Works fine for me:

how bizarre, it seems to be working now. i'm assuming this was a server admin issue.
