Version 2018.06.14 has been released. I've just DL'd last night's 4Corners with no problems. Ditto Episode 4 of City&TheCity.

The trick for getting URLs of individual videos is to click on the down arrow beside an episode then click on "Share". That will copy the link which can then be pasted into youtube-dl.

But, the new site makes a mess of apps which try to pull the URL from the page address. That no longer works as each page is just a holder for all the episodes.

You can track what youtube-dl fixes will be in the next release here: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases. A link to future commits becomes visible when the first commit is finished for the next release.

Be kind to the YTDL people – they have responded very quickly and precisely to the iView change [maybe they saw how many Oz users love their ABC iView !].

Cheers.
