Description of issue

watchdisneychannel.go.com, watchdisneyxd.go.com and watchdisneyjunior.go.com are now all part of disneynow.go.com. Is it possible to add support, so that it works with the new site?

[SkiTheSlicer]

@tv21 your fix probably only works for shows that use the ‘watchdisneychannel’ API endpoint, but not for Junior or XD.

‘disneynow’ doesn’t appear to be its own separate API endpoint, but rather still proxies somehow to the ‘watchdisneychannel’, ‘watchdisneyjunior’, and ‘watchdisneyxd’ API endpoints.

If I edit go.py to just iterate through the list of endpoints until one is successful, that seems to work, but I’m not going to submit a pull request for that because it’s just guesswork and not clean code. For anyone who wants to take this a step further, I added an (incorrect) _SITE_INFO entry for ‘disneynow’ and replaced video_data = self._extract_videos(brand, video_id)[0] with:

if sub_domain == 'disneynow':
    for sub_domain in ['watchdisneychannel', 'watchdisneyjunior', 'watchdisneyxd']:
        site_info = self._SITE_INFO[sub_domain]
        brand = site_info['brand']
        try:
            video_data = self._extract_videos(brand, video_id)[0]
        except IndexError:
            continue
        else:
            break
else:
    video_data = self._extract_videos(brand, video_id)[0]

Edit: I hope that didn’t sound condescending @tv21 . Good job getting it that far. Trying it out is the best way to learn.

@SkiTheSlicer, mind if I open a pull request with your patch? I have the file all ready.
