What operating system do you use ?

Windows 8.1 Pro

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

1. … Copy link of desired content
2. … Paste into Youtube-DLG top window
3. … Download

What is the expected behaviour ?

Content downloads

What happens instead ?

ERROR The error is because ABC has completely changed their mode of operation and now opens a new window with a player. There is no longer a direct link to the content. This is not Youtube-DL’s fault, but the functionality is broken nonetheless.

The issue is obvious. Last week I was able to happily use Youtube-DLG to download any content from Australian ABC iView. This week, it is all different, they have changed to a completely different method where a player opens in a new window. The URL for the actual video clip is no longer available. Hopefully there is some way around this. I don’t know why they are so jealous about their content since it goes out over the air for free anyway.

This is a youtube-dl issue, update your version of youtube-dl (settings > update) and it is fixed.

Yes it is (it’s not my problem)
