Adult Swim not working. Possible AP - MSO name change for xfinity?

[reikitsune]

I can seem to get anything locked on adultswim downloaded, but free stuff works just fine. Using yt-dl gui. using following code in Extra menu: --cookies C:/Users/username/Desktop/cookies-www-adultswim-com.txt --ap-mso Comcast_SSO --ap-username USERNAME --ap-password PASSWORD

Am I doing anything wrong?

For debugging, we need to see a log from the command-line tool, using cmd, Windows Terminal, or whatever.

First of all, to check whether extraction works, you need a command like this:

youtube-dl -F -v options url

Replace options by the stuff from the "Extra menu" and url by the URL of the video page. Parameters that contain special characters may need "double quotes".

I am having a similar issue, possible the same issue. This is my log:

Work around I found: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42124169 This takes a little more work, but it did end up working.

1. Login to adultswim.com with cable provider
2. Get to page of video
3. Open Developer Tools in your web browser
4. Reload page (not sure if necessary but its what I did)
5. Go to the Network tab, then search for "M3u8"
6. Find the URL with "master" at the beginning
7. Make sure its Type is "x-mpegurl"
8. Right click the URL and select Copy URL
9. Paste URL into console and use as URL for youtube-dl

If the SSL error persists, check whether this happens in the browser. Depending on the system configuration, the root certificates used by yt-dl (ie, by Python) may be different from those used by the browser (eg, Firefox has its own) and may need to be updated following the DST R3 expiry: see eg here.

In the second log, the procedure appears to be failing when retrieving the MSO Session (adobepass.py:1518) although the backtrace is truncated, so the failing URL is https://sp.auth.adobe.com/adobe-services/session.

Perhaps the mvp_headers, first used here, need to be updated to mention a newer FF version:

        mvpd_headers = {
            'ap_42': 'anonymous',
            'ap_11': 'Linux i686',
            'ap_z': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0',
            'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0',
        }
