Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hi all, I am no longer able to record items from ITV Hub. For example, https://www.itv.com/hub/action-team/2a5066a0004. I was able to record them last week, but the log file says "No video formats found". I upgraded to youtube-dl 2018.03.20 in the last few days. Unfortunately, I cannot remember if I have been able to record anything on ITV Hub with this version.

I hope I have filled in issue form correctly and that my issue is clear. If not please let me know.

Many Thanks M

Can confirm problem with youtube-dl 2018.03.20. I'm also getting the warning: "Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden". I tried a remix with rtmpdump and got this response:

Could this be a geo-blocking change ?

It's exactly THAT! The ITV Hub people are now playing hard ball...

I'm also getting the warning: "Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden"

"Techie" details:

With the (legacy) RTMPE (Flash) streams, there's only a soft geo-block on the Playlist (stream data) acquisition URL: http://mercury.itv.com/PlaylistService.svc?wsdl or https://secure-mercury.itv.com/PlaylistService.svc?wsdl That soft block can be lifted via an X-Forwarded-For header trick, the FMS server itself doesn't geo-fence (yet?); for your show in question, on Windows (Vista SP2 x86) and from an overseas location, latest yt-dl (2018.03.20) shows:

i.e. only the RTMPE streams are detected; on my setup/location, I have no issues fetching the best RTMPE stream (-f=rtmp-1800 - uses a DIRECT connection):

You appear to be on a Mac; what exactly do you mean by

I tried a remix with rtmpdump

Me thinks your issue lies in a deficient RTMPDump binary and/or your connection settings; remember, for RTMP streams you need default port 1935 open! Find/compile a new RTMPDump MacOS binary and retry; sorry I can't help, no Macs here...

Apart from the legacy RTMPE streams, ITV also provide new encrypted MPEG-DASH streams (for desktop browsers) and encrypted AppleHLS streams (for iDevices); the former are of no use to yt-dl, because common encryption (cenc) hasn't been broken; the latter use AES-128 encryption, that yt-dl/FFmpeg can cope with...

The new streams employ a new playlist API service: https://magni.itv.com/playlist/itvonline/* that is still being geo-fenced but, yet again, this soft block can be lifted with an X-F-F trick... Up until some days ago, that URI yielded HLS master playlists (.m3u8) hosted on a "itvpnpmobile-a.akamaihd.net" host that didn't geo-block; as a result, yt-dl could still detect/fetch those HLS streams from overseas... Around Mar 20th 2018, that host has been reconfigured to block non-UK IPs (geo-fencing), but this one is a "hard" block, meaning an X-F-F trick won't work ! This is the reason you get the WARNING: Failed to download m3u8 information: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden, ergo no HLS streams from overseas...

TL;DR

UK users: It should still be "business as usual" for you; both RTMPE+HLS streams should continue to work, provided you have a proper install of Python/yt-dl + working binaries of RTMPDump+FFmpeg
Overseas users: Only RTMPE streams will be detected from now on, for as long as they remain available (they are deprecated by ITV and not always available for their entire VOD catalogue; i.e., some shows are missing RTMPE streams). You should still be able to fetch those streams from overseas, provided you have a functional rtmpdump binary...

In the case of ITV shows lacking downloadable RTMPE streams (like the OP's https://www.itv.com/hub/action-team/2a5066a0004), then, if overseas, you're in a predicament; my first advice would be to wait for some days after the date of broadcast, in the hope of ITV providing the missing Flash streams (that you can fetch from overseas); however, if you're in a hurry or the RTMPE streams never show up, you'd have to resort to more drastic geo-location circumvention methods (UK HTTP proxy, full blown UK VPN, SmartDNS service with support for ITV HLS, etc), because not only the master playlist and its variants are geo-fenced, so are individual HLS fragments; IOW, you'd have to route all HTTP traffic from itvpnpmobile-a.akamaihd.net to the proxy/VPN... And it won't be long before ITV start blacklisting commercial proxy/VPN IPs (we saw that already with BBC iPlayer)...

e.g. using a UK VPN, @section83's show now yields:

Many thanks for all that. I'm happy not to work around geo-blocking so, I'll leave things as they are.

I tried a remix with rtmpdump

That was just a brain fade - I meant "remuxing" but Apple Safari auto-corrected it and I wasn't remuxing anyway.
