Description

I saw this was reported yesterday, but closed because the OP got it working again. I saw this problem yesterday and solved it with --referer=“https://spankbang.com” but that is no longer working, so I’m reporting this again.

Update, --referer=“https://spankbang.com” is working again, but something is wrong here, so I recommend leaving this ticket open until someone can take a look at the extractor.

seems to be working fine now. downloading as normal with output format flag.
