According to http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html CWTV is a supported site.

However when I execute the following line, it returns me generic instead of CWTV and dowloads the thumbnail from cwtv.com:

youtube-dl -v http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-100/inside-the-100-thirteen/?play=479caa3c-546c-4871-911d-043d1fc826d3

Output:

Just as a note, I can stream the video, I just can't download it.

Is this because of copyright, or is it because cwtv.com changed there naming scheme? Can it be fixed? Thanks for any help.

I was using the version from the Linux package manager, but apparently they never updated. Will install directly then, thanks.
