Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

All of the Discovery "GO" channels (discoverygo.com, tlcgo.com, animalplanetgo.com, etc) are being discontinued. They have moved all of the Full Episodes to the non-GO channels (discovery.com, tlc.com, animalplanet.com, etc).

The current [discovery] extractor does not work on these sites.

They also have lowered the quality of the videos on the GO channels to 720p. It appears that the 1080p videos are available on the non-GO channels.

Thanks.!

@besweeet , Thank you very much. It has worked.

...on a completely unrelated note, the latest episode of Battlebots from the discovery site does not download, instead it downloads a 2 minute ad for a TLC show. Playing the episode on the site works fine. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

EDIT: oops, I'm a little late to the party...but could someone check on my Battlebots issue?

Never mind. Problem solved by just updating to the latest version (2019.08.13)

cookieguru commented 5 years ago

the script is broken, kindly fix it. sent you an e-mail

Bombarding me with demands is not a way to get a resolution. And as previously mentioned, this issue is for fixing youtube-dl, not the script I previously used to triage the issue. Glad someone else was able to spoonfeed you answers.

nairobi1982 commented 5 years ago

@cookieguru , it is all well mate. Everything is now sorted. Thanks.
