Description

I regularly download General Hospital from Abc.com. This worked fine on 5/6/20, but failed yesterday. I updated to the 5/8/20 release of youtube-dl, but that didn’t fix the problem. Thanks!

I can confirm that #25216 fixes this problem. Thanks!

I use YouTube-DL Gui, so how will i be able to apply the fix?

Sorry @magnum32 , I don’t have any experience with Youtube-DL Gui. I couldn’t figure out how to extract and re-compile the Windows executable, I ended up just downloading the source code, making the change myself, and then running the python file to verify the fix.
