Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Issue: College students have access to Xfinity channels through Xfinity On Campus. I have looked up the relevant pieces of code on youtube-dl, there exists no method or way to login to Xfinity online platforms (such as Comedy Central, FX Networks) on it. Suggested Solution: Add support for this login method. On login pages, it is in under a div block with an id= xoc-select-box. There are a number of universities that are part of this program (which is listed under a dropdown in the same div block. Additional Info: Look here for more details: Xfinity On Campus
