Description

My Viki Pass Plus credentials normally work for all Viki videos. However, starting a couple of days ago I noticed that youtube-dl cannot find any video formats for videos that are restricted to Viki Pass or Viki Pass Plus only.

@zackmark29 Thank you for your fast and helpful reply, kind stranger! You are a genius. The Viki Parser tool you made looks impressive. The VPN will work for most of the videos I need.

Glad it worked! Soon I’m going to share my personal tool as well.
