Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I doesn’t have problem to download free content but it doesn’t work when I want to download “extra” (premium) videos from an account, tou.tv have change their web site design recently. It worked less than a month with my account before the web site change. The tou.tv login script probably need a update for the new web site.

If you need a login to help you, I can give my account credential.

I hope that my English is not too bad!

Thanks for your help. Erik.
