Can we get an update on this issue? DirecTV is broken with this same issue also. Thanks!

I’m also having the issue: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 796, in extract_info ie_result = ie.extract(url) File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py", line 529, in extract ie_result = self._real_extract(url) File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/go.py", line 137, in _real_extract url, video_id, requestor_id, resource) File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/adobepass.py", line 1448, in _extract_mvpd_auth self._DOWNLOADING_LOGIN_PAGE) File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/adobepass.py", line 1360, in post_form post_url = self._html_search_regex(r'<form[^>]+action=(["\'])(?P<url>.+?)\1', form_page, 'post url', group='url') File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py", line 1013, in _html_search_regex res = self._search_regex(pattern, string, name, default, fatal, flags, group) File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py", line 1004, in _search_regex raise RegexNotFoundError('Unable to extract %s' % _name)

the above fix works for youtube-dl from source, but is there a way to patch the pre-compiled version?

For those running from source code or compiling your own, the quick fix for Comcast Xfinity is to use this version of adobepass.py:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bhamboss/youtube-dl/patch-1/youtube_dl/extractor/adobepass.py

That is from https://github.com/bhamboss/youtube-dl/blob/patch-1/youtube_dl/extractor/adobepass.py and I can confirm this works with Xfinity’s new login if you are coming in from an Xfinity IP address.

Just to be clear, Xfinity authenticates differently if you are coming in from one of their IP addresses vs. if you are coming in from the IP of some other provider. I tested the above patch coming from an Xfinity IP. I did NOT test it from another provider’s IP.

If I run diff -u on the original and patched files I get this:

Note the use of “oauth.xfinity.com” rather than “login.comcast.net” which is what apparently worked back in 2016, but not in 2019.

Still running into the original (“Unable to extract post url”) issue. For me it’s with anything that’s locked to your provider on http://disneynow.go.com. I just tried NBC and Simpsons World and they both work fine. Here’s the output of my --version, just so you can see I’m on the most recent one:

2018.12.17

And here’s my verbose output when I try to download.

Charter/Spectrum here, also trying to download My 600-lb life, provider sign-in and play works fine in browser, with youtube-dl (latest version at time of this post) using --ap-mso=Charter_Direct or --cookies, get same error as halolordkiller3 ; “ERROR: This video is only available via cable service provider subscription that is not currently supported. You may want to use --cookies.”

Tried after logging in successfully in browser, still same error.

I remembered that for discovery you should use the “go” urls, I didn’t realize “go” had been discontinued. So that sucks.

I did try running youtube-dl WITH the browser page opened AFTER successfully signing in, using both --ap-mso and --cookies, had no effect on issue.
