Just tried youtube-dl for the first time to download a CBS video. Downloaded the windows exe file but I keep getting errors about "falling back to generic information extractors" and "Unsupported URL" when i try to run it.
-Run command prompt as Admin
-Change directory to where the exe is saved
-Run "youtube-dl URL."
Where "URL" is:
Code:
http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/watch/Under-the-Dome/7415074327007149112/332320323655/Under-The-Dome---Go-Now/videos
OR
Code:
http://uverse.com/tv/show/under-the-dome?play=c___ILJd_sqpUlIC
OR
Code:
http://www.dishanywhere.com/shows/under_the_dome_489223/episodes/4014109/1720242/
I get the same errors no matter what link I use. Not sure what i am doing wrong.
Perhaps this program only works for episodes hosts on CBS itself and not any of the videos that re-direct to cable sites (like my above links). In that case, I guess I could not download any of the "under the dome" episodes since they all seems to re-direct off of CBS dot com. Is that the case?
